Accessibility statement #
Last reviewed: 2026-10-25.
This accessibility information covers the EthicsPortal website, web application, public whistleblowing channels and downloadable documents. Our engineering target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
Conformance status #
Full conformance with WCAG, EN 301 549 or RGAA has not been established. No complete RGAA audit or valid RGAA conformance percentage is available.
Assessment and limitations #
The engineering review dated 25 October 2026 sampled mobile layouts, keyboard interactions and automated accessibility checks. It is not a complete accessibility assessment. Automated checks cannot establish screen-reader compatibility or conformance of every page and workflow.
Outstanding assessment includes complete user journeys with assistive technologies, physical mobile devices, downloadable documents, customer attachments and third-party services. The website includes videos; captions alone do not establish that all media accessibility requirements are met. Accessible alternatives can be requested using the contact below.
Public-sector procurement #
For a French public-sector deployment, agree the service scope and applicable EN 301 549 edition with the buyer. A complete RGAA assessment remains necessary to establish the deployed service’s status. The public body is responsible for its scoped declaration and accessibility programme; EthicsPortal supplies product evidence. This page does not replace that declaration.
