WCAG 2.2 Compliance in Newcastle
Bringing Newcastle organisations' sites up to the current version of the accessibility guidelines, where the useful question is what changed. A site conforming to the previous version is most of the way there — the additions concern focus visibility, dragging, target size, consistent help and authentication that does not test memory.
Why this comes up
The problem
The site was assessed against the older version two years ago and nobody has looked at the new criteria since.
What you get
What we deliver
- The gap from your current position assessed rather than a full reassessment from nothing
- Focus indicators reviewed for visibility against the appearance requirement
- Dragging interactions given a single-pointer alternative wherever they appear
- Target sizes checked, particularly on controls placed close together
- Help mechanisms placed consistently across pages rather than moving around
- Authentication reviewed so no step relies on memory or transcription alone

WCAG 2.2 Compliance in Newcastle — common questions
- What actually changed in 2.2?
- A small set of additions rather than a rewrite. The new criteria address how clearly focus is shown, alternatives to dragging, minimum target sizes, keeping help in a consistent place, avoiding cognitive tests during authentication, and not requiring information the user already entered.
- Why does authentication feature?
- Because sign-in routinely excludes people. Steps that require remembering a password without allowing a manager to fill it, transcribing a code by hand, or solving a puzzle create barriers for people with cognitive disabilities — so an alternative route has to exist.
- Is target size a real problem?
- On mobile interfaces, frequently. Controls placed close together — an icon row, adjacent links, a compact date picker — are difficult for anybody with limited dexterity, and the criterion sets a minimum with defined exceptions rather than demanding everything grow.
- Do we need a full reassessment?
- Not if the previous work was sound. Where a site conformed to the earlier version, the efficient approach is testing specifically against the new criteria and remediating those — a full audit from scratch mostly re-establishes what you already know.
- Do you work with businesses across Tyne and Wear?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Newcastle and the surrounding Tyne and Wear area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Newcastle businesses do you usually work with?
- Remote monitoring and data-heavy work from the energy sector sits alongside a steady flow of product builds from the local tech community. Beyond that we work across Digital & Tech, Offshore Energy, Healthcare, Higher Education and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Newcastle?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Leeds, York. Newcastle is an urban area of roughly 820,000+, and we take on work across the wider Tyne and Wear region rather than the city boundary alone.
