Approach to increase the accessibility of our website

The following measures have been taken to promote compliance with the accessibility requirements:

  • Automatic testing: The website is regularly tested by an automatic testing tool.
  • Internal checks prior to publication: Prior to publication, the editorial team tests all content for accessibility.
  • Regular internal checks: The editorial team carries out interim checks on the content.
  • Software: the editorial team uses special software to improve the accessibility of information (text, images and video).
  • Training of employees: The editorial team has undergone training about accessibility.

Breda continues to work towards accessibility

Through Breda.nl we link to other websites, such as the Map of Trees (Bomenkaart) and the map showing roadworks. Not all information on these websites fulfils the web guidelines. We are looking at ways of ensuring that any new information can be accessed here too in a user-friendly manner. 

PDFs

The web guidelines set high requirements for PDFs. At Breda.nl, where possible, information is offered in short texts. PDFs of policy papers can be requested. In relation to policy papers that can be accessed at Breda.nl, we are unable to guarantee that all of these files meet the web guidelines.
