Compliance status<\/b><\/div>
The Department of Information (DOI)\u200b is committed to making online services on the gov.mt portal accessible to all.\u00a0 We have a national and global user base and are dedicated to continuously improving accessibility of our services, with a focus on the anti-discrimination requirements of the Equal Opportunities Act (Persons with Disability) of 2000 (EOA).\u200b\u200b<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Compliance process<\/b><\/div>
The Gov.mt website is designed to work with the latest versions of the browsers Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
As part of this effort, DOI adheres to accessibility standard EN310549 which broadly maps to the W3C WCAG 2.1 Levels A & AA guidelines.\u00a0 Our online resources and products are evaluated both manually and programmatically in compliance with these \u200bguidelines. The GOV website in particular is designed to work well and be accessible when accessed with suitably-updated hardware and software products.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Further recognizing that adherence to standards and guidelines cannot on its own ensure that a product is accessible, DOI also carries out usability evaluations in collaboration with persons with disability, so as to gather necessary feedback.\u00a0 We also strive to implement accessibility for information channels that are provided via third party platforms wherever possible, such as our Facebook\u200b<\/a> and Instagram\u200b<\/a> pages.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Ac\u200b<\/b>cessibility measures<\/b><\/div>
We have opted not to include additional accessibility widgets on the Gov.mt as we strive to ensure compatibility with the accessibility features already built into modern browsers and assistive technologies. This allows users to personalise their experience using tools they are familiar with.\u200b As a result, these arbitrary user customisations are available for most websites.\u00a0 In order to allow for this level of customisation, we seek to maximise compatibility with these user modifications.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
As part of, and in addition, to the above-mentioned guidelines, the Gov.mt\u200b\u200b website implements the following accessibility features:<\/div>
