Accessibility

A clearer path should be available to everyone.

STEP is working toward an experience that people can perceive, understand and use across devices, input methods and assistive technologies.

If something gets in your way, tell us.

Report a barrier

Design practices

Accessibility is part of the interface, not an add-on.

The site uses WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a reference for ongoing design, development and review. This statement is not a claim that every page is free of barriers.

Keyboard access

Navigation, controls and forms are designed to work without a mouse, with a visible focus indicator.

Readable contrast

Text and controls use strong contrast, while colour is not intended to carry meaning on its own.

Clear structure

Headings, landmarks, labels and page titles help people navigate with assistive technology.

Motion preferences

Animation and smooth scrolling are reduced when a device requests reduced motion.

Known limits

Improvement is an ongoing responsibility.

External websites and documents linked from STEP are maintained by other organizations and may offer a different accessibility experience.

When reporting a barrier, it helps to include:

  • The page address or feature you were using
  • What you were trying to do
  • The browser, device or assistive technology involved
  • The format or accommodation that would help

Share only what you are comfortable providing. You do not need to disclose a disability or diagnosis to report a barrier.

Accessibility feedback

Help us understand what is not working.

Send the page, task and preferred way to receive the information. STEP will use that context to understand the barrier and consider an accessible alternative.
