Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement applies to the Maldaba website https://www.maldaba.co.uk.
The website is run by Maldaba.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use the website. This means you should be able to:
- Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser functionality
- Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- Use most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
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 the website are not fully accessible:
- Some of our forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some third party form controls are missing a ‘label’ tag
- ‘Active focus’ for keyboard users should be improved
- The deactivated ‘Glossary’ function may cause some navigation issues for screen readers

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Pathways To Care is committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
- Some pages cannot be found through more than one type of navigation. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.5 (Multiple Ways)
Disproportionate burden
Navigation and accessing information
It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content.
Interactive tools and transactions
Some of our interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some third party form controls are missing a ‘label’ tag.
Some of our forms are built and hosted through third party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website.
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. 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.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
All content is within the scope of the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are committed to fixing content which fails to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard and will update this page when issues are fixed.
This is list of accessibility issues we aim to resolve as part of our next review.
- Improve ‘Active focus’ for keyboard users
- Review third party accessibility when considering new suppliers
