ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
IMPROVEMENTS
Contrast
The colour contrast of content-driven elements has a text-to-background brightness ratio of at least 4.5:1. Only large text and interface elements (site navigation) have a text-to-background brightness ratio greater than 3:1.
Page zoom
Page enlargement without loss of functionality is possible in web browsers using keyboard shortcuts or appropriate settings.
Images and graphics
Images and graphics relevant to the understanding of the content have alternative text.
Multimedia content
All video recordings have closed captions. Some audio and video recordings have transcriptions but no audio description or translation into PJM. Most video recordings are created so that the narrator or character compensates as much as possible for the lack of audio description.
Moving without the mouse
The pages of the website can be navigated without the use of a mouse, using only the keyboard and standard keyboard shortcuts.
