Website Accessibility

This website is run by The Maltings. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, which means you should be able to:

​​

  • Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen.

  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.

  • Navigate most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWs, NVDA, and VoiceOver).

  • We have 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.

Technical information about this website's accessibility

The Maltings is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

​​

This website framework is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. 

​​

We also run monthly and quarterly reports to identify and address accessibility issues.

  • We will provide staff training to ensure that all new content added meets accessibility criteria.
     

Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations.

  • PDFs and other documents:

    • Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they are accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

    • Any new PDFs or Word documents created by us will meet accessibility standards.

    • We may have some scanned PDF documents on our website, e.g. our Annual Governance and Accountability Returns (AGARs). Scanned documents do not comply with the Accessibility Regulations 2018, but these documents can be provided in an alternative format or on alternative media on request.


How we tested this website

The Modern.gov accessibility statement is for WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 standards. We aim to continually make improvements to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.


Our main website platform, available at https://www.themaltingsely.org.uk/, was tested last in November 2025. Tests were carried out by both internal systems and our website developer.
