This statement was last updated in March 2026.
This accessibility statement applies to the Orlando website. This website is managed by Cambridge University Press & Assessment, with technical maintenance of the interface by the Orlando Project team.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- Change colours, contrast levels and fonts by adjusting browser settings. Different browsers include these options under different menus – they can usually be found under Tools, Settings, Options, Content or Reading View depending on the browser. There are also browser extensions specifically dedicated to changing colours and contrast options, e.g. Change Colors for Google Chrome and Color Changer for Mozilla Firefox.
- Zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen for most of the website
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
- Navigate most of the pages in logical reading order with the ability to skip to headings, regions and hyperlinks. There are also multiple ways to navigate the entire site including navigation menus and crumb trails.
- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
- Use text to speech tools to read out website content. Text to speech tools are built into some browsers (e.g. Microsoft Edge) and are available as a plug-in for many others. Your phone, tablet or laptop accessibility settings are also likely to provide text to speech functionality.
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
How accessible this website is
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible, for example:
- In some areas the tab sequence does not reflect the visual order.
- Some interactive elements are not accessible via keyboard.
- Some decorative images have descriptive alt text and linked image alt text doesn’t describe the link purpose.
- On some pages, the heading structure is not consistent.
- Some expandable buttons don’t have correct state set.
- Some buttons/links are lacking descriptive, accessible labels.
- Some buttons/links are marked up with non-semantic HTML.
- Some interactive elements are lacking visible focus indicator or have focus indicator with insufficient colour contrast.
- When text spacing is adjusted, content is clipped, obscured, or lost in some areas.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Compliance status
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard, it was found to be partially compliant with this standard, due to the issues listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
- The tab sequence is illogical or does not reflect the visual order in some areas.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.3 Focus Order (A) - Some interactive elements are not accessible via keyboard.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 Keyboard (A) - Some decorative images have descriptive alt text.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 Non-text Content (A) - Linked image alt text does not describe the link purpose in some areas.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (A) - On some pages, the heading structure is not consistent (e.g. lacking heading level 1, section titles are not marked up as headings, text incorrectly marked up as heading, heading level 2 before heading level 1, skipped heading levels, etc.)
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A) & 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (AA) - Some expandable buttons don’t have correct state set (via aria-expanded attribute).
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A) - Some buttons/links are lacking descriptive, accessible labels.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A) & 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (AA) - Some buttons/links are marked up with non-semantic HTML so their role may not be recognised by assistive technologies.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A) - Some interactive elements are lacking visible focus indicator or have focus indicator with insufficient colour contrast.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.7 Focus Visible (AA) & 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (AA) - When text spacing is adjusted, content is clipped, obscured, or lost in some areas.
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.12 Text Spacing (AA)
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the above issues. Due to this customized interface being maintained by an academic research project, we believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be in September 2026.
