Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 26 August 2026

Ravelin wants people to be able to read about managed PAYE and workplace pensions, send an enquiry, and use the same pages with a keyboard, zoom or screen reader. Ravelin Capital Group Ltd (trading as Ravelin) is a private company, not a public-sector body.

The law that applies to us

The Equality Act 2010 requires us not to discriminate and to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people in how we provide services. That includes this website so far as it is a service we offer to the public and to businesses.

The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 impose a specific WCAG-based duty on public-sector bodies. Those Regulations do not apply to Ravelin in the same way. We still use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the practical target for this site, because it is the widely accepted technical standard in the UK.

What we have done

• Text alternatives: decorative photography uses empty alt text so screen readers skip it; interface icons that convey meaning are hidden from assistive technology where the visible label is enough.
• Keyboard: primary navigation, the mobile menu button, accordion questions and the contact-form audience toggle can be used without a mouse. Accordion buttons expose aria-expanded and aria-controls.
• Forms: labels are associated with controls. The inactive employer or worker panel is taken out of the tab order with disabled so it is not submitted by accident. The contact form does not put CSS transforms on ancestors of select boxes, which otherwise breaks native dropdowns in some browsers.
• Contrast: ink, paper and vermilion are specified so body text and primary controls meet a strong contrast target on this palette. Focus states are visible on links, buttons and fields.
• Zoom: layouts are intended to remain usable at 200% in a common desktop viewport. Horizontal overflow on small screens is treated as a defect if it hides content.
• Motion: entrance animation is reduced when the operating system asks for reduced motion.

How you should be able to use this website

• Navigate using a keyboard
• Zoom to 200% without essential text becoming unreadable
• Follow headings, lists and form labels with a screen reader
• Send an enquiry without drawing on a pointing device, once fields are filled

Known limits

We have not commissioned a full independent WCAG audit of every page, so we do not claim conformance. Current limits we already know about:

• Type is loaded from Google Fonts. If that third-party request is blocked, the browser falls back to system fonts; layout still works.
• Some resource and marketing photographs are atmospheric. They are not required to understand the payroll content.
• Legal pages are long. We have not yet added an in-page contents list for those documents.
• The contact form uses native select elements. Those follow the browser and operating-system accessibility behaviour, which varies.
• PDF or downloadable payroll artefacts are not published on this site. If we add them, they will need their own accessibility pass.

We will update this list when we fix items or find new ones.

Reporting a problem

If you cannot use part of the site, tell us what you were trying to do, which page you were on, and which browser or assistive technology you use. Email payroll@ravelin.group or call 0333 050 0024.

We will acknowledge accessibility reports and tell you what we can change. If you need the same information in another format (for example a plain-text copy of a legal page), say so in the message.

If you remain unhappy

For discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 you may seek advice from the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) or from Citizens Advice, and in some cases from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Those routes are about equality law generally.

The specific enforcement story for public-sector websites (EHRC enforcing the 2018 Regulations) does not map onto this private site. It does not prevent you from raising a problem with us, or from using equality-law remedies that do apply.
