Accessibility Statement

The Greifswald Mire Centre endeavours to design all websites in accordance with Section 13 of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Disability Equality Act (LBGG MV) so that they can be used without restriction by people with limitations and disabilities, as stipulated in the Accessible Information Technology Ordinance of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (BITVO MV).

Status of compliance with requirements

The Greifswald Mire Centre's website is currently being revised. In this context, the requirements of Section 13 of the LBGG MV are being reviewed and implemented.

The following content is not accessible:

• Not all documents are available in an accessible version.
• Not all images, graphics, maps and audiovisual content are provided with alternative text. Heading hierarchies are not always adhered to.
• There are currently no or incomplete full-text alternatives or subtitles available for embedded videos.
• The contrast of texts and control elements is sometimes inadequate.
• Some tables are incorrectly marked up.
• Lists occasionally consist of only one entry or are not correctly marked up.
• No information is provided in German sign language.

Reasons for the shortcomings

The website is complex and extensive. It is created and maintained with limited resources. Editorial oversights in the area of accessibility cannot therefore be completely avoided.

Due to the size of the video archive, the provision of videos with audio transcription has only been possible to a limited extent so far.

Preparation of this statement

This statement was prepared on August 2024. Methodology of the review: Self-assessment
