Accessibility Statement

Accessibility is tested using a combination of automated and manual methods:

• axe-core — automated rule-based accessibility checks: component checks and full-page scans can identify a subset of accessibility issues; checks are run locally during development
• eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y — static analysis of JSX for common accessibility issues during development
• Keyboard testing — review of keyboard operation, focus order and visible focus indicators in the flows being checked
• Assistive technology — automated checks do not establish screen reader compatibility. We do not claim a complete independent screen reader audit

The following areas have known accessibility limitations that we are working to remediate:

• Schedule drag-and-drop — The drag-and-drop scheduling interface currently lacks full keyboard and screen reader support. Use the visit form or ask your agency for assistance where an interaction is inaccessible.
• Map views — Interactive maps (used for carer location and geofencing) do not yet provide equivalent non-visual access. Availability of equivalent text information varies by screen.
• Complex controls — tables, editors and third-party controls need continued keyboard and assistive-technology checks as features change.

Babiha's accessibility commitments are informed by the following frameworks:

• Equality Act 2010 — We have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure disabled users are not put at a substantial disadvantage when using our service.
• NHS Accessible Information Standard (AIS) — relevant health and care providers have their own duties for accessible communication. Using Babiha does not establish that an agency has met those duties.
• NHS procurement — we do not claim NHS approval or completed Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) assurance on this page.
