Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 22 May 2025

This Accessibility Statement applies to all digital properties owned and operated by Clinicians Check Limited, including www.clinicianscheck.com and any associated domains, services, or mobile-responsive versions of the platform.

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA – International standard for digital accessibility
  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA – Latest international update, focused on cognitive, visual, and mobility support
  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA – Implemented in 2023, expands accessibility criteria for cognitive, mobility, and low-vision support. CliniciansCheck actively aligns with this updated standard.
  • Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 – UK law governing digital services, including those collaborating with the NHS
  • Equality Act 2010 (UK) – Prohibits discrimination based on disability in all digital public services and private sector offerings
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (USA) – Applies to digital systems used by US federal institutions
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III – Covers public digital access in the USA

This statement is issued as a matter of public interest and legal transparency. CliniciansCheck is prepared to defend its accessibility compliance before any regulatory body, government agency, or court of law.

2. Commitment to Inclusive Access


CliniciansCheck is committed to ensuring that all users, regardless of ability, can access and use our platform in a safe, fair, and barrier-free manner.

We are actively working to ensure our website is:

  • Perceivable – content is presented in ways users can perceive
  • Operable – functionality is available via keyboard, mouse, voice, or assistive technology
  • Understandable – text and navigation are consistent, logical, and predictable
  • Robust – content is compatible with modern assistive technologies

 

3. Accessibility Features You Can Expect

  • Navigate using a keyboard alone
  • Zoom up to 400% without loss of content or functionality
  • Use screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, etc.)
  • Toggle colour contrast, text size, or font with browser tools
  • Access clearly labelled forms and error notifications
  • Avoid flashing content or time limits that could trigger discomfort

We apply these features as baseline standards for all users — not as add-ons or separate experiences.

4. Testing and Maintenance


We regularly assess our website's accessibility using the following tools and procedures:

  • Manual testing using screen readers: JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
  • Keyboard-only navigation testing
  • Automated testing with tools including axe DevTools, WAVE, and Google Lighthouse
  • Monthly accessibility compliance reviews
  • Third-party audits when collaborating with NHS or public sector bodies
  • These measures help us maintain our commitment to both WCAG 2.1 AA and WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.

We use a combination of tools and human testing to meet compliance:

  • Automated Tools: axe DevTools, WAVE, Google Lighthouse
  • Manual Testing: Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), keyboard-only navigation, high-contrast mode
  • Frequency: Reviewed monthly, with urgent patches deployed immediately
  • Third-Party Audits: Conducted for all NHS- or government-facing partnerships
