Accessibility statement

Last updated: 2026-05-18

UK ETA Transit Checker is built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, in line with:

The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882), which has applied to consumer-facing digital services in the EU since 28 June 2025.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, as commonly applied to public-facing websites.
The UK Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the UK Equality Act 2010 baseline expectation for businesses.

What we did

Semantic landmarks: <main>, <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <aside>.
A single <h1> per page and a sensible heading hierarchy.
Every form field has a programmatically associated <label> (no "label as placeholder" pattern).
The result region uses aria-live="polite" so screen-reader users hear the verdict change as they fill the form.
The stale-data warning uses role="alert".
Visible keyboard focus (3 px ring tied to the brand-primary token).
Colour contrast ratios meet WCAG 2.2 AA (≥ 4.5:1 for body text, ≥ 3:1 for large text and UI components) against the warm-paper background.
Respect for prefers-reduced-motion: the stamp-land animation and chip pulse are suppressed when the user has opted out at the OS level.
Form chips and buttons are real <button> elements (not click-handled <div>s), so they are reachable by Tab and activatable by Enter/Space.
No content depends on hover-only interactions on touch devices.
No dangerouslySetInnerHTML; no untrusted HTML is injected into the document.

Known limitations

This site ships in English only. UK ETA rules are UK-specific English-language regulation; we have no plans to translate the verdict copy. Screen-reader users on non-English systems hear the English copy.
The optional Download summary action produces a plain .txt file rather than a fully tagged PDF. Plain text is universally accessible but does not include heading structure.

Reporting a barrier

If you encounter an accessibility barrier — for example a form field that your assistive technology cannot reach, a colour-contrast issue your eyes or your software finds unreadable, or a verdict copy that your screen reader skips — please write to [email protected] and we will work to remediate it promptly.
