3. Known Limitations

While we strive for full compliance, some areas are under improvement:

Key Additions for Full Compliance

  1. Legal Alignment: Explicitly references PEPUDA and POPIA for South African users.

  2. Toolbar Integration: Recommends adding an accessibility widget (e.g., UserWay).

  3. Escalation Path: Directs users to SAHRC for unresolved issues.

  4. Testing Protocols: Includes third-party audits and real-user testing.

Implementation Checklist:

  • Add toolbar plugin (e.g., UserWay or AccessiBe).

  • Audit all PDFs with Adobe Acrobat’s accessibility checker.

  • Train staff on handling accessibility requests.

This version ensures legal robustness, user transparency, and actionable improvements. Let me know if you’d like help sourcing an accessibility plugin!
