Accessibility statement
We hold ourselves to our own standard
We run a digital accessibility recognition program. It would be indefensible for our own site to fall short of the standard we assess others against — so this statement isn't boilerplate. It says what we commit to, how we test ourselves, what we know isn't perfect, and how to tell us when we get it wrong.
Our commitment
We aim for this website to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the same standard our program assesses. In practice that means keyboard operability throughout, visible focus indicators, sufficient color contrast, text alternatives for non-text content, semantic structure and landmarks, status conveyed by more than color alone, and respect for reduced-motion preferences.
How we test ourselves
We run this site through the same automated testing engine our program uses, and we review it for the criteria automated tools can't judge — the same discipline we expect of the organizations we accredit. And we hold ourselves to the same honesty we ask of others: automated testing catches only part of the picture, so a clean automated result is a floor, not a finish line.
Known limitations
Honest accessibility statements name what isn't perfect yet. This site is in active development, and some pages are still being built out. If you encounter a barrier anywhere — a control you can't reach by keyboard, text you can't read, content a screen reader mishandles — that is a defect we want to fix, not an acceptable state.
Tell us
If any part of this site is difficult or impossible to use, please tell us — email lucas@upliftaccredited.com or use our contact form. Describe the page and what went wrong, and we'll work to fix it. A recognition program that can't take accessibility feedback on its own site has no business giving it to anyone else.
