Our Commitment
We want everyone who runs, judges or follows a show to be able to use SEQ, including people who use a screen reader, keyboard, switch or voice control, people with low vision or colour blindness, and people who find small targets hard to hit on a moving day. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, and we treat accessibility problems as bugs to be fixed.
What We Have Done So Far
- Every screen works with a keyboard, and the element that has focus is always clearly visible.
- A “Skip to Content” link is the first thing on every public page.
- Buttons and controls in the app are at least 44 pixels tall, so they can be hit with a thumb or a stylus.
- Colours were chosen for contrast, and nothing is conveyed by colour alone: a score, a status or an alert is also written in words.
- Text can be made larger or smaller in the app’s settings, and the pages respond to the browser’s zoom without losing anything.
- Animations are switched off for anyone whose device asks for reduced motion.
- Form fields have labels, error messages say what to fix, and changes that happen on their own, such as a new safety alert, are announced to screen readers.
- Every score can be entered by hand with buttons as well as by voice, and every voice feature can be turned off.
- The app works on an iPad, a phone and a computer, in portrait and landscape, and keeps working when the connection drops.
Known Limitations
- Signing a test is done by drawing a signature with a finger, stylus or mouse. We do not yet offer a typed signature. If you cannot draw one, please tell your show manager and us.
- The official test forms are PDFs published by the organizations that own them, and the filled-in sheets follow those layouts. They are not fully tagged for screen readers. The same scores and remarks are available in the app as ordinary text.
- Voice scoring needs speech. Everything it does can also be done by hand.
- The public results page updates itself every few seconds; the change is announced, but a screen reader user may prefer to reload the page at their own pace.
We have not yet had SEQ audited by an independent accessibility specialist. This statement describes our own testing.
Using SEQ With Assistive Technology
SEQ is a web app. It works in the current versions of Safari on iPad and iPhone, and of Chrome, Edge and Firefox on a computer, with the screen readers built into those devices (VoiceOver, Narrator) and with NVDA and JAWS. Voice Control and Switch Control on Apple devices work with the app’s standard controls.
Tell Us About a Problem
If something in SEQ is hard or impossible for you to use, please tell us at [email protected] or through the Contact Us page. Say what you were trying to do, on which device, and with which assistive technology, if any. We reply within five working days and we will work with you on a way through in the meantime.
About This Statement
This statement was prepared on September 27, 2026 and is reviewed whenever SEQ changes in a way that affects it.
