Trust Centre · Accessibility
A platform for everyone who depends on it.
Students, families and staff use School Niva with different abilities, devices and languages. We design and test every journey so it works for all of them.
Same page, every way
One screen, used four different ways
The same homework card, as different people experience it. Every journey is built and checked for each.

Design principles
Four habits in every journey
Keyboard first
Every core journey works with a keyboard, with visible focus and no traps.
Meaningful structure
Headings, labels, status and errors say the same thing to a screen reader as they show on screen.
Readable presentation
Contrast, text size, spacing and reduced motion respect each person's needs.
Test with people and tools
Automated checks are the baseline; assistive technology and real users complete the picture.
Our standard
What every page must do
Always
- Work with a keyboard alone
- Reflow on small screens and when zoomed in
- Meet colour-contrast requirements
Never
- Rely on colour alone to carry meaning
- Trap focus or move content without warning
How it is checked

Automated checks
