Access is part
of completion.
SGCA aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across public and authenticated experiences while adopting relevant WCAG 2.2 improvements and neurodiversity-first interaction practices.
Compliance status: SGCA is actively being developed and reviewed. The platform targets WCAG 2.1 AA, but not every legacy document or prototype has completed a formal independent audit. Known issues should be reported through the contact route below.
Accessibility features
Designed for different ways of learning.
Keyboard access
Logical tab order, visible focus, skip links and controls that do not require a mouse.
Readable structure
Semantic headings, clear labels, landmarks, meaningful links and predictable navigation.
