Accessibility

There are certain requirements for websites to ensure they are easy to use for everyone. Vilans wants to meet these requirements. These requirements are called digital accessibility requirements. Government organizations must comply with these requirements for their websites and apps. This is stated in the "Temporary Decree on Digital Accessibility for Government." These requirements are described in the standard EN 301 549/WCAG 2.1 AA. An organization must explain in a statement that it adheres to these requirements. This is called a digital accessibility statement.

Statements about Accessibility

Vilans publishes the accessibility statements for its websites in the Dashboard DigiToegankelijk. It shows whether Vilans’ websites comply with the digital accessibility requirements.

Measures to Improve Accessibility

Vilans takes the following measures to improve compliance with the requirements:

• Applying accessibility requirements is an integral part of our working process. This includes tasks such as web editing, website management, and further development of the websites.
• Our editors have received training on accessibility. They also have the necessary knowledge and skills to properly apply the requirements.
• We have parts of our websites assessed for accessibility by independent experts. We come up with solutions that will help now and in the future for issues that are not yet properly addressed.
• We regularly check our websites for accessibility using the Silktide tool.

Report accessibility issues

Not all documents meet the accessibility requirements yet. For example, PDF files and videos. Do you have any questions or comments? Or do you want to use something from our website that is not yet accessible? Please contact us. We will look for a suitable solution.
