Accessibility
This declaration regarding accessibility pertains to the website of Die Junge Akademie published at the URL www.diejungeakademie.de (including the mobile version). We are committed to optimising accessibility for our websites and mobile applications in accordance with the regulations set out in the German Federal Law for the Equality of People with Disabilities (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz – BGG) and the Regulation for Accessible Information Technology (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung – BITV 2.0) regarding the implementation of the Directive (EU) 2016/2102.
Current state of compliance with the requirements
The requirements regarding optimised accessibility are derived from Section 3, Paragraphs 1 to 4 and Section 4 of the BITV 2.0, which were decreed on the basis of Section 12d of the BGG.
The assessment of compliance with the requirements is based on a self-assessment performed from 18/08 to 25/08/2022 with the Google Chrome plug-in “Lighthouse”. The result is as follows:
- Accessibility: 100
- Best Practices: 100
- SEO: 99
Some aspects (e.g. Content) can only be checked to a certain extent within the scope of the self-assessment at hand. Therefore, our commitment to website and content optimisation is ongoing. Some of the contents listed below are not optimised for accessibility for the following reasons:
Images: Not all images have alternative text.
- Videos: There are no videos available with sign language.
- Podcasts: Not all linked podcasts have a transcription version.
- PDF documents: Not all PDF documents are optimised for accessibility.
- Use of Simple Language: There are no explanations provided in Simple Language yet.
Optionally accessible contents
The following measures are planned for optimising accessibility.
- Images: Missing alternative text for image files is to be added by 31/01/2023.
- Use of Simple Language: Explanations in Simple Language are to be added to the page “About Us” by 31/12/2023.
The following contents were realised with the intention to provide a level of digital accessibility which exceeds the legal requirements:
- Use of animation: Animation can be disabled.
- Use of colour: Some colours of the CI have slightly too little contrast. In this case, the contrast can be increased in the menu.
