Non-accessible content

It is not yet possible to change the contrast.

Files in PDF format are not yet available in accessible versions. As these are many files that can only be adapted step by step, it will unfortunately take some time to resolve the problem. We are endeavouring to improve accessibility as quickly as possible.

Easy language: We are currently working on creating content in ‘easy language’. The information will be added on an ongoing basis.

The website does not have a version in sign language.

It does not have a read-aloud function (Readspeaker).

Photos and images do not yet have a mouseover function.

Unfortunately, not all elements on our website can be made completely accessible. We see accessibility as an ongoing process and will continue to adapt our website in the future and work continuously on reasonable and affordable measures to optimise accessibility.
