Accessibility Statement

What this statement is

Most accessibility statements claim conformance without saying what was tested. This one says what has been measured and what has not, because a visitor who relies on assistive technology needs to know which it is.

ARG aims for WCAG 2.2 level AA across www.andrews-recruitment.com. That aim is partially met, and the detail is below.

Verified by automated testing on every release

A contrast check runs across every page in the sitemap at desktop and mobile widths before any release, computing each text element’s contrast against its actual rendered background. A release with a failure does not ship.

• Text contrast meets WCAG AA — 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text — on every page, at 1440px and 390px.
• Gradient-filled headings are measured against the darkest colour in the gradient, not an average.
• Headings do not overflow their container at 320px, the width a phone reports when the owner increases display size.
• Animation respects the operating system’s reduced-motion setting on the chat widget and the page transitions.
• Every page renders a heading structure starting at a single h1.

Not yet verified

These have not been systematically tested, so no claim is made about them. They are listed because omitting them would make the section above read as a conformance claim it is not.

• Keyboard-only navigation through every interactive component, including the chat widget and the job filters.
• Screen reader behaviour on the job search, the salary tables and the subscription form.
• Focus visibility on every control.
• Alternative text on every decorative and informative image.
• The third-party chat and scheduling components, which ARG does not control.

If something does not work for you

Email info@andrews-recruitment.com describing what you were trying to do and what happened. You do not need to know the technical cause or the WCAG criterion.

ARG will reply within 5 working days. If the barrier stops you applying for a role or submitting a vacancy, say so and ARG will do that part with you directly by phone or email while the site is fixed — the job is not conditional on the website working for you.
