Accessibility of the service

The website largely meets the requirements of the accessibility criteria required.

Inaccessible content

Some parts of the website are not fully accessible. The key shortcomings in the accessibility of the online service are described below. 

Perceivable

No data cells assigned to table header

  • Inaccessible content and deficiencies: Some pages include recently created forms which use tables. Every header cell in a table should have at least one data cell assigned to it but this is not the case with these new forms which is a problem for screen reader users. We will do our best to fix this problem as soon as possible.
  • Accessibility issue: WCAG 1.3.1 Info and relationships.

Operable

Links without a text alternative

  • Inaccessible content and deficiencies: Some pages have links without a text alternative. In addition, some pages have link texts that are identical although the links go to different pages. However, the link context indicates the difference between the links because these identical link texts on the same page are either under different headings or in different banners. We will instruct our content producers about these issues and do our best to fix these as soon as possible.
  • Accessibility issue: WCAG 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context).

Robust

Text alternative is missing

  • Inaccessible content and deficiencies: In some articles, there are videos embedded with iframe from YouTube and the embed code does not have a text alternative. We will do our best to fix issue this as soon as possible.
  • Accessibility issue: WCAG 4.1.2 Name, role, value.
