Delivering a great experience to all our users, regardless of disability or circumstance, is a core principle that underpins how we approach design, development, and support at Cadmus. This statement outlines the current compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA, and the steps to be taken to ensure that Cadmus reaches and maintains full compliance.
In order to identify areas of non-compliance, accessibility compliance audits are conducted regularly across the Cadmus platform, using Google Lighthouse and Accessibility Insights for Web. The last audit was completed in March 2023. The results of this audit have been prioritised in the implementation plan below based on their severity, impact on accessibility, and ease of remediation.
If you’d like to understand the details of our most recent accessibility audit, please contact support@cadmus.io.
While we meet the majority of WCAG 2.1 AA standards, we are still working towards full compliance in the following areas of the Cadmus Student Environment:
