Accessibility Statement
This accessibility statement applies to the CATQR website.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- understand the purpose of links from added tags.
- zoom in up to 500% without the text spilling off the screen.
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
- navigate most of the application using speech recognition software.
- listen to most of the application using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
How accessible this website is
We know some parts of the website are not fully accessible i.e. do not meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 level AAA standard:
- not all areas of the application currently meet AAA colour contrast (7:1) requirements.
- there are a number of sentences that are longer than 80 characters.
- autofocussing on various fields cannot be disabled by users, which may lead to change of context without user request.
CATQR branding and mobile app colour scheme has been developed in line with RNIB guidelines for Colour and Contrast for people with sight loss.
We have passed online accessibility tests with zero critical issues flagged. With the help of these WCAG assessment tools we’ve made the site more accessible by:
- Tagging elements that behave like buttons as buttons, and explaining their use.
- Labelling links to show their purposes.
- Adding a ‘lang’ tag for screen readers to determine the site’s language.
Feedback and contact information
If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille please contact us. We’ll consider your request and get back to you in 2 working days.

Compliance status
Although we have passed online accessibility tests with zero critical issues flagged, this website is not compliant with WGAG version 2.1 level AA or 2.2 level AA standard. We have a project underway to improve accessibility across CATQR’s digital estate which will ensure our website is fully compliant with the aforementioned WCAG standard.
“It’s great to see the reaction of staff when they use CAT and realise how simple it is to record their attendance – just by scanning a class QR code. Our administrators love it because there is no more manual data entry and spreadsheets to deal with, doing away with all the headaches that come with paper registers!”

“Fantastic and easy to use! I needed a contactless solution for taking attendance at our small private school when students arrive and leave. We were able to easily purpose CAT to accomplish this and signing in/out of school for teachers and students has never been easier or quicker. Even beyond COVID, we will continue to use this system.”

“Having Class Attendance Tracker (CAT) QR has now revolutionised the way our GP registrars (trainees) register their attendance at our teaching sessions, and this would have been an impossible task with our switch to virtual teaching! CAT has made what was previously a clunky administrative process into a simple, streamlined one.”

"Since the launch of the CAT, our process for recording and reporting attendances has improved immensely. We can easily keep track of our staff and students who can see their CAT attendance record in real-time on our learning portal, it is simple yet elegant. Customer support is excellent and enhancements are implemented quickly."
