1. Status of compatibility with the requirements

Due to the following non-accessible content, this website is only partially compliant with Section 10 (1) L-BGG. We are constantly working on making our website more accessible.

2. Non-accessible content

The content of the website is not accessible for the following reasons:

  1. A version in Easy Language or English/German Sign Language are not available.
  2. Some linked PDF Documents may not be completely accessible (i. e. missing tags and hierarchy).

  4. In some cases, links may not include supplementary title attributes, which means that the purpose of the link may not always be fully clear to users of assistive technologies.
  5. In some cases, interactive elements may be nested, which can affect keyboard and screen reader navigation. This is a built-in WordPress problem and we are working to correct these patterns.

We are constantly working on improving the accessibility of the website.
