Accessibility statement in plain language
All people should understand this web page easily.
Disabled and non-disabled people should be equal.
Everywhere.
Therefore, a law exists.
The law is called: [Behinderten-Gleich-Stellungs-Gesetz] the Act on Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons.
Abbreviated with BGG.
The law contains a rule for public authorities.
The rule is for public authorities in Germany.
A public authority is for example:
- Government office
- Authority
- Court
We are a public body too:
We are the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport.
The Federal Ordinance on Barrier-Free Information Technology contains the exact instructions for the rule.
Abbreviated with BITV.
One speaks: Bitvau
Every public authority must follow the rules.
The rules state:
- Everyone must seek for barrier-free offerings.
- Everyone must say what works.
- And what does not work well yet.
Everyone must write that on the web page in a statement.
This is called a declaration of accessibility.
This declaration was made for the web page www.dipul.de.
Our website is already almost barrier-free.
What needs to be improved on our web page:
- We found a problem with the program NVDA.
NVDA reads out the web pages.
NVDA is used by many blind people.
When the NVDA program is turned on, the following does not work well:
Navigating through the menus with the keyboard.
We are working on the problem. - Some downloadable PDF documents have barriers.
- The map of the country has several more barriers.
Making a map barrier-free is much harder than making a web page barrier-free.
We still have to do a few things better.
We are working on that.
We tested this page on 12/3/2021 and found barriers.
This statement was created on 12/22/2021.
And the last check was on 12/22/2021.
