Accessibility Statement
Appraise Wise Consulting Group
Last updated: [date]
Our commitment
Appraise Wise is committed to making this website usable by as many people as possible, including those who use assistive technology. We treat accessibility as part of building the site properly, not as an addition to it.
Standard we work to
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines set out how to make web content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for people with a range of disabilities.
[Client to confirm one of the following, and delete the others:]
- This site conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
- This site partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Some content does not yet fully meet the standard; the known exceptions are listed below.
- We are working toward conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and are addressing issues as they are identified.
What we have done
[Client to confirm which of these apply — remove any that do not.]
- Text and background colours meet minimum contrast requirements
- The site can be navigated by keyboard alone
- Headings follow a logical order, so screen reader users can move through pages by structure
- Images carry alternative text describing their content or purpose
- Form fields have associated labels, and required fields are identified
- Text can be resized without loss of content or function
- The site is usable across screen sizes, including mobile devices
Known limitations
[Client to complete, or remove the section if conformance is full. Common items on a site like this:]
- The embedded map is provided by Google and its accessibility is outside our control. Our address and telephone number are given in text form alongside it, so map use is never required.
- PDF documents produced before [date] may not be fully accessible. We will supply an accessible alternative on request.
- Third-party tools embedded in the site, including [reCAPTCHA / chat widget / WhatsApp], are subject to their providers' own accessibility standards.
If you have difficulty using this site
If any part of this site prevents you from finding what you need, tell us. Describe the page and the difficulty, and we will respond and, where possible, provide the information in another form.
We can supply information from the site by telephone, by email, or in an alternative format on request. Ordering an appraisal does not require use of the online form — you can place an order by telephone or email instead.

Assessment
[Client to confirm and complete:]
This statement is based on [a self-assessment / an evaluation carried out by (name of assessor)] completed on [date].
Ongoing work
Accessibility is reviewed as the site changes. Where new content or functionality is added, it is assessed against the same standard. This statement is updated when the position changes.
