# Accessibility Statement

EdEHR is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all users, including those with disabilities.

## Our Standard

The EdEHR platform has been evaluated against **WCAG 2.2 Level AA**, the internationally recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This standard covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible to people with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

## What We've Done

In 2025–2026, EdEHR underwent a comprehensive, independent accessibility audit conducted by two professional accessibility consulting firms — Untapped Accessibility and Easy Surf. The audit covered 21 unique views across the platform using a combination of automated, manual, and guided testing methods, including screen reader testing, keyboard-only navigation, colour contrast analysis, and zoom testing.

The audit identified 76 findings. All identified issues have been remediated by the EdEHR development team, with each fix verified against the original findings and recommended solutions.

For more detail on the audit process and outcomes, see the [Accessibility](/edehr-compass/legal-and-compliance/accessibility/accessibility.md) page in this section.

## Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is not a one-time effort. Our approach to maintaining and improving accessibility includes:

* **Developer guidelines** that integrate accessibility best practices into the ongoing development workflow
* **A tracking system** for identifying and resolving accessibility issues as they arise
* **Regular progress reviews** as part of our governance and development cadence
* **Plans for periodic re-audits**, particularly after significant platform updates
