How accessible is the Overton web application, and what is the level of conformance to WCAG 2.1?
This accessibility statement applies to the Overton web application at https://app.overton.io. Overton is designed to be used by as many people as possible. The text should be clear and simple to understand, though it is a specialist tool and assumes knowledge of some acronyms and academic terms. You should be able to:
- Zoom in up to 200% without problems
- Navigate all of the web application using just a keyboard
- Navigate most of the web application using speech recognition software
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Compliance status
The Overton web application fully conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.
We have also tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AAA. We are partially compliant for WCAG 2.1 AAA. The following criteria are not currently met at AAA level:
- 2.5.5 – Target Size: Some interactive controls do not meet the minimum 44×44px target size requirement.
- 3.2.5 – Change on Request: Some links open in a new tab without prior warning to the user.
- 1.4.6 – Contrast (Enhanced): Some text does not meet the enhanced 7:1 contrast ratio required at AAA level.
We continue to review and improve accessibility across the application.
