VeriThreat accessibility: Accessibility statement

Everyone in a school community should be able to report a concern, and every team member should be able to do their work. We design VeriThreat to be accessible.

Last updated November 7, 2026

Our standard

We design and test VeriThreat to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. That includes WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard required by the U.S. Department of Justice's ADA Title II rule for state and local governments, including public schools.

What we do

  • Keyboard access: every action can be completed with a keyboard, with visible focus indicators.
  • Screen readers: pages use semantic headings and landmarks; form fields have labels; status messages and errors are announced.
  • Readable design: text meets color contrast requirements, and color is never the only way information is shown (status badges always include words).
  • Plain language: we write for a broad audience, including students and families using the tip line.
  • Languages: the public tip line is available in English and Spanish.
  • Zoom and mobile: pages reflow at 200% zoom and on small screens.

How we test

  • Every release: automated checks with axe-core (WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 Level A and AA rules) on 36 screens across every role, the tip line in English and Spanish, and this website. A serious issue blocks the release.
  • Also every release: automated checks of the skip link, reflow on a 320-pixel-wide screen, the warning before sign-out, and keyboard use of the image redaction tool.
  • Expert review of each WCAG success criterion against our screens and code.
  • Planned: an independent expert audit, and screen reader testing with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver by people who use them.

Known limitations

  • Short confirmations such as "Saved" disappear after a few seconds. They're announced to screen readers, and what you saved stays on the page.
  • Charts label each bar with its value for screen readers, and Insights can be exported as a spreadsheet (CSV) with the same numbers.
  • Printable documents (case files, letters, posters) are made from web pages: use your browser's "Save as PDF" for an accessible copy.

Accessibility Conformance Report

Read our Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT® 2.5Rev, WCAG edition), which rates VeriThreat against each WCAG 2.2, 2.1, and 2.0 Level A and AA success criterion and explains how we tested.

Report a barrier

If something in VeriThreat is hard to use with your disability or assistive technology, tell us at support@verithreat.com with the page and what happened. We aim to respond within 2 business days. If you're reporting a safety concern and the form isn't working for you, contact your school directly, and if someone is in danger, call 911.
