Accessibility statement

Last updated: 21 September 2026.

Our commitment

Educator is used by students of all abilities, in classrooms and at home, and we want every one of them to be able to practise independently. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across the whole service.

Conformance status

Educator is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. Our internal audits currently have no open WCAG failures, but we have not yet been independently audited, so we do not claim full conformance. We audit the product against WCAG internally and fix gaps as a standing part of development. This page lists what we currently know about.

What works well

  • The whole service is keyboard-operable: practice sessions can be completed without a mouse, answer feedback is announced to screen readers as well as shown visually, and a skip-to-content link bypasses the header navigation.
  • Pages use semantic HTML landmarks, and text colours are chosen against WCAG contrast thresholds.
  • Animations respect the operating system's “reduce motion” preference.
  • The interface works at 200% zoom and on small screens, and no content depends on colour alone. Correct/incorrect feedback always carries an icon and text.

Known limitations

The issues found in our June 2026 internal audit (a handful of unlabelled form controls and some low-contrast muted text in one theme) were fixed the same month. Our later internal audits in July and September 2026 found no new WCAG failures. What we know we do not yet offer:

  • A built-in read-aloud or text-to-speech option. Educator works with the screen readers built into each platform, but does not read cards aloud itself.
  • In-app controls for font, text size or spacing. Browser zoom works to 200% and the layout adapts, but there is no dyslexia-friendly font or text-size setting inside Educator yet.
  • Testing with screen-reader users. Our audits so far are internal, using automated tooling plus manual keyboard and screen-reader checks by the team. We have not yet run sessions with students who rely on assistive technology, and would welcome the chance to.

Each of these is tracked. This list will change as updates ship.

Feedback and contact

If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere in Educator (or anything on this page looks out of date), email support@educator-labs.com and we will respond within five working days. If you teach with Educator and a student needs an accommodation we don't currently support, tell us. Real classroom needs set the priority order for this work.

Technical information

Educator is a web application built with standards-based HTML, CSS and JavaScript, designed to work with current versions of major browsers and the screen readers built into Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and ChromeOS. This statement was first prepared on 10 June 2026 and last reviewed on 21 September 2026, based on internal audits of the live service. It is reviewed when significant interface changes ship.
