Accessibility statement
This statement covers cuecurve.co.uk, including the diagrams at cuecurve.co.uk/diagrams. It is run by CueCurve LTD.
We want as many teachers as possible to be able to use CueCurve. We've written this statement in the format public bodies use, because the schools that use CueCurve work to the same standard.
Using CueCurve
You should be able to:
- zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen or needing to scroll sideways. Wide tables, such as those on the privacy and data protection pages, scroll sideways inside their own box, which you can reach with Tab and scroll with the arrow keys. On a laptop at 400% there isn't room for Present at the top of the screen, so it's the first item in the ☰ menu instead;
- reach and use every control and curve with a keyboard alone, with a clear outline showing where you are. The exception is drawing with the pen, highlighter, rubbers and laser pointer in Present, which needs a mouse, finger or stylus;
- turn off Present's one-key shortcuts, such as P for the pen and B to blank the diagram, if you control your computer by voice, so the words you say can't set them off. In Present, choose ?, then Off under One-key shortcuts; that computer remembers the choice. Ctrl shortcuts, Esc and a presentation clicker's buttons keep working;
- move curves and points with the keyboard or with buttons, instead of dragging them;
- from View and export: make the labels and lines on a diagram bigger, from 80% up to 160%; change the background to one of six colours (cream, white, yellow, blue, green or lilac), for the diagram alone or the whole screen; turn on colour-blind-safe curve colours; or switch to black and white;
- read every diagram without relying on colour, because curves, areas and points are all labelled;
- use CueCurve with a Windows contrast theme, where diagrams keep their own clear black-on-cream drawing;
- choose less movement in the diagrams. Draw it and the curves that glide into place move smoothly even when your device is set to reduce motion, because many school computers have that setting on without anyone choosing it. Choose "Less movement" under Movement in View, and each line and curve appears in place instead; that computer remembers the choice. Draw it can also be paused or stopped at any time. The moving pictures on the home page play whatever the setting, and each one has a Pause button.
We've also tried to keep the wording on the site as simple as we can.
How accessible CueCurve is
We know some parts aren't fully accessible yet:
- every diagram now describes what it shows to screen readers and says what changed when a curve moves, but we haven't yet checked these descriptions with a screen reader;
- on a classroom projector, some labels are small at the normal size.
The problems we know about section below gives more detail, and how we're fixing each one.
Telling us about a problem or asking for help
If you find something on CueCurve hard to use, or need information in a different format, email hello@cuecurve.co.uk. Tell us the page or diagram, what you were trying to do and what you use to browse, such as a screen reader or magnifier, if you're happy to.
We aim to reply within two working days. If we can't fix the problem quickly, we'll tell you when we expect to, and help you get what you need in the meantime.
Technical information about this website's accessibility
We measure CueCurve against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, level AA, the standard UK schools and public bodies work to.
Compliance status
CueCurve is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA, because we haven't yet checked its diagram descriptions with a screen reader.
Problems we know about
Checks still to do
- Diagram descriptions. Every diagram describes its curves, labels and shaded areas in exam terms, explains the economics it shows, and says what changed after a curve or point moves, for example that a fall in price from P₁ to P₂ extends demand. These descriptions are new, and we haven't yet checked them with a screen reader such as NVDA or VoiceOver. Until we have, we can't be sure they meet WCAG 1.1.1 (non-text content) and 4.1.3 (status messages).
Other problems we're fixing
- Projectors. At the normal size, some diagram labels and the labels on the controls are small for the back of a classroom. You can make them bigger with Labels and lines in View and export.
We're working on fixes for all of these, and we'll update this statement as each one is done.
How we tested CueCurve
We last tested the public pages, all 33 diagrams, Present, signing in, Your school and the buy and quote forms in November 2026, using automated WCAG 2.2 AA checks and checks by hand with a keyboard alone, at 200% and 400% zoom, with extra text spacing, a Windows contrast theme and simulated colour blindness. We did these checks ourselves rather than through an independent audit, and haven't yet tested with a screen reader such as NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver.
