Table 1: WCAG 2.2 Level A
Criterion	Conformance level	Remarks and explanations
1.1.1 Non-text Content	Supports	Meaningful images have text alternatives. Decorative photos, icons, and the background video are hidden from assistive technology.
1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded)	Supports	The only video is a silent, decorative background on the homepage. It carries no information and can be paused.
1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded audio content.
1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded video with information in it.
1.3.1 Info and Relationships	Partially Supports	Web pages use real headings, lists, tables, landmarks, and labelled form groups. The downloadable PDFs are not tagged, so their structure is not available to screen readers. Every form has an accessible web version, and any document is available in another format on request.
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence	Supports	Reading order in the code matches the visual order.
1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics	Supports	Instructions never rely on shape, color, size, or position alone.
1.4.1 Use of Color	Supports	Links in text are underlined. Errors use text and an icon. Selected filters and the current page use a shape or underline as well as color.
1.4.2 Audio Control	Not Applicable	Nothing plays sound automatically.
2.1.1 Keyboard	Supports	Every link, menu, dialog, filter, carousel control, and form field works with the keyboard alone.
2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap	Supports	Menus and the Crisis Line dialog close with Escape and return focus to the control that opened them.

2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide	Supports	The background video and the testimonial carousel each have a pause button, and both stay still when the device is set to reduce motion. No text rotates on its own.

2.4.1 Bypass Blocks	Supports	A skip link is the first item on every page, and every page uses landmarks.
2.4.2 Page Titled	Supports	Every page has a unique, descriptive title in its own language.
2.4.3 Focus Order	Supports	Focus moves in reading order. Dialogs, error summaries, and thank-you messages take focus when they appear.
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)	Supports	Link text says where it goes. Download links state the file type and size.
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures	Supports	Nothing needs a multi-finger or path gesture. The map also has zoom buttons.
2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation	Supports	Controls act on release, using standard buttons and links.
2.5.3 Label in Name	Supports	Where a control has a hidden label, it starts with or contains the visible text.
2.5.4 Motion Actuation	Not Applicable	Nothing responds to shaking or tilting the device.

3.2.1 On Focus	Supports	Focusing a control never changes the page or opens anything.
3.2.2 On Input	Supports	Choosing an option never submits a form or moves you to another page.
3.2.6 Consistent Help	Supports	The Crisis Line button, phone number, and "Need help?" block appear in the same place on every page.
3.3.1 Error Identification	Supports	Errors are described in text next to the field and in a summary at the top of the form that links to each field.
