Accessibility statement
What is actually built into this site, not a claim of certification against a standard nobody has audited us on.
What is in place
- A skip link on every page. The first focusable element lets a keyboard or screen-reader user jump straight past the header to the main content, on every one of the thousands of generated pages.
- A single, consistent focus indicator. Every interactive element — links, buttons, form fields, the language switcher — gets the same visible outline on keyboard focus, defined once in the stylesheet rather than left to inconsistent browser defaults.
- Reduced motion is respected. If your operating system is set to reduce motion, the entry animations used across the site switch off and the loading spinner slows down, rather than ignoring that preference.
- Labelled form fields. Every question in the eligibility wizard — age, household size,
income, country search — has a real
<label>associated with its input, not a placeholder standing in for one. - Live regions for dynamic updates. Places where the page updates without a reload — a
filtered country list, the "preparing your application" status, a copied share link — use
aria-liveorrole="status"so a screen reader announces the change. - Locked content is never colour-only. Rows withheld behind the paywall carry an
aria-label("Amount locked") rather than relying on a blurred visual treatment alone. - Semantic structure. Header, navigation, main content and footer are marked up as landmarks, and the language switcher is itself labelled for assistive technology.
- Correct
langattribute. Every page declares the language it is actually written in, and the alternate-language links in the footer carryhreflang.
Known gaps
This is a small team's honest list, and it will change as items are fixed rather than as marketing copy.
- No third-party accessibility audit (an automated or manual WCAG conformance review) has been run yet, so this page does not claim a conformance level.
- Colour contrast has not been checked line-by-line against every background the theme produces; the design uses a limited, high-contrast palette by intent, but a formal audit has not confirmed every combination.
Contact
If something on this site is difficult to use with a screen reader, keyboard-only, or with any other assistive technology, tell us — write to accessibility@unclaimedgrant.com with the page and what happened, and we will look at it. This is the same small team behind the rest of the site, so a real person reads every message.
