    Accessibility Statement

    TrustWatt is committed to making our platform accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.

    Our Commitment

    We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

    The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility. Level AA is the target for most public-facing websites.

    We're continuously working to improve accessibility across TrustWatt. This includes:

    • Clear, readable text with sufficient colour contrast
    • Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements
    • Alt text for images where meaningful
    • Clear focus indicators for interactive elements
    • Logical heading structure
    • Form labels and error messages that are clear and helpful

    Known Limitations

    We're aware that some parts of TrustWatt may not yet fully meet accessibility standards. We're actively working to address these:

    • [Placeholder — List any known accessibility issues here when identified]
    • Some interactive charts may not be fully accessible to screen reader users
    • Some third-party embedded content may have accessibility limitations

    As we identify issues, we prioritise fixes and aim to resolve them as quickly as possible.

    TrustWatt is designed to work with:

    • Screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS)
