Accessibility statement

Standards we target

We aim to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. This is the standard expected of UK public-sector services under the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, and we use it as our benchmark even though we are a private platform.

What works well

• The whole site is usable by keyboard alone — every interactive element has a visible focus indicator.
• Text reflows to 400% zoom and supports browser font-size scaling without breaking layout.
• Five colour themes (including a high-contrast dark mode) let users choose what works for them.
• Lesson content is structured with semantic headings (h1–h4), making it navigable with screen-reader heading shortcuts.
• Colour is never the only signal for meaning — correct/incorrect answers, status badges, and form errors all carry text or icon cues as well.
• Maths expressions render with both visual KaTeX and accessible MathML output for screen readers.
• Diagrams (Mermaid) ship a text-equivalent description for screen readers.

Known issues

We know the following parts of LearningBro are not yet fully accessible. We are working on each of them.

• Some older lesson images do not yet have descriptive alt text. We are auditing and backfilling these.
• A small number of lesson videos do not yet have captions or transcripts. New videos are captioned as they are published; the older ones are being captioned in batches.
• Mathematical formulas rely on KaTeX-generated MathML, which is well supported by recent screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) but may not announce correctly on older assistive technology.

Reporting accessibility issues

If you find a part of the site you can't use, or if you need information in a different format (large print, plain-text, audio), email us at accessibility@learningbro.com. We aim to respond within five working days. If a piece of content is blocking your learning, please flag that in the email — we'll prioritise a fix or send you the content in an alternative format.

Enforcement

If you contact us with a complaint and you're not happy with our response, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

How we test

We run automated accessibility checks (axe-core) against the platform on a regular cycle and supplement this with manual keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader smoke testing (VoiceOver, NVDA), and colour-contrast verification across all five themes. Automated tools catch around a third of issues; the rest depend on real-user testing, so we welcome reports.
