Accessibility
Accessibility statement.
BUFF is built to be usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or reduced-motion settings.
Our conformance target
BUFF aims to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We treat that as a working standard applied during design and build, not a certification claim. Accessibility is reviewed whenever a page changes.
What that means in practice
- Semantic headings on every page, in order, so screen readers can navigate by structure.
- Keyboard access to every interactive control, with a visible focus indicator.
- Text and interface colours checked against WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios.
- Meaningful alternative text on images that carry information, and none on decorative ones.
- Motion that is reduced automatically when your device requests reduced motion.
- Forms with real labels, described errors, and no reliance on colour alone.
Known limitations
Stating these plainly is part of the standard. We would rather name a gap than imply it does not exist.
- Third-party embeds (scheduling, video, mapping) are outside our direct control; we choose accessible providers where a choice exists.
- PDF downloads are published as they are supplied. Where a PDF is not fully tagged, the same material is available as a web page or through AI Tyler.
- Long AI Tyler answers with several citations can be dense on small screens; we continue to refine that layout.
Tell us about a barrier
If any part of this site is hard to use with your assistive technology, we want to know. Describe the page and what happened, and we will respond with a fix or a plain explanation of the timeline. Where a page is not yet usable for you, we will supply the same information in another format.
