Limitations and alternatives
When using the Website with assistive technologies, you may encounter certain limitations. Below, we outline these known issues and offer potential solutions:
- Keyboard Accessibility. Some interactive elements, such as sliders and dropdown menus, cannot currently be navigated using a keyboard alone.
- Visible Focus Indicators. The Website does not consistently show visible focus indicators on some elements, which are crucial for users navigating via keyboard.
- Descriptive Link Text. Many links on the Website lack clear descriptions, hindering navigation for both screen reader users and those who need clear context to navigate effectively.
- Color Contrast. Some text and background combinations do not meet the minimum color contrast ratio, which can make text difficult to read for users with visual impairments.
- Video Accessibility Options. Some videos lack audio descriptions, transcripts, and captions, which are essential for users with visual impairments or cognitive disabilities to fully understand and process the content.
- Text Alternatives for Images. Some images on the Website may lack text alternatives or may have inaccurate descriptions. We actively monitor user feedback and typically address and correct any reported issues within 20 working days.
- Accessibility of Archived Documents. Some archived documents may not be compatible with current assistive technologies due to the use of outdated technologies. Upon request, we will convert these documents to accessible formats within 20 working days.
The limitations are listed in more detail in the Accessibility Conformance Report.
We are committed to making our website accessible to all users and recognize the need for improvements in several areas. We are actively working to enhance these features and plan to implement significant upgrades in the coming months. We value your patience and welcome your feedback as we work to improve your experience.
