Accessibility

This statement covers the AI Adoption Controls Framework website (https://aacf.adriansaxton.com), its online self-assessment and its downloads. It was written on 13 November 2026 from a check of the site’s own code. The site has not yet had a formal audit against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, and it has not been tested with screen readers.

What the site supports

  • Plain pages. Every page is plain HTML and works without JavaScript, apart from the self-assessment, search and the theme switch.
  • Structure. The page language is set to British English. The header, main navigation, main content and footer are marked as landmarks, each page has one main heading, and a skip link at the top of every page goes straight to the main content.
  • Keyboard. Links, buttons and form controls show a visible focus outline, so the site can be used with a keyboard alone.
  • Contrast. Every text colour meets the WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratio in both themes: at least 5.3 to 1, and 17 to 1 for body text in the light theme.
  • Themes. Light by default, with a dark theme on request. The choice is remembered on that device only.
  • Motion. The only animation is a short colour change on links and buttons, and it is switched off when the device asks for reduced motion.
  • Levels. On control pages each maturity level is shown with its number and name, not by colour alone.
  • Zoom. The layout adapts to small screens, and browser zoom is not blocked.
  • Self-assessment. Each control’s choices are grouped and labelled, with a progress indicator. Results can be printed or saved as a CSV file. Answers stay in the browser and are not sent anywhere.

Known limits

  • The self-assessment and search need JavaScript. The assessment workbook (Excel) and the controls downloads give the same content without it.
  • The reference guide PDF is not tagged for screen readers. The same content is on the website and in the CSV and JSON downloads.
  • The Excel workbooks have not been tested with screen readers.
  • The dark theme follows the reader’s choice on the site, not the device setting.
