Accessibility

The Student Sustainability Office of the University of Freiburg endeavours to make its websites accessible in accordance with § 10 paragraph 1 of the L-BGG (State Act on Equal Opportunities of Persons with Disabilities).

This accessibility statement applies to the website of the subdomain https://uni-freiburg.de/nachhaltigketsbuero.

1. Current State of Compatibility with the Requirements

Due to the recent transition to a new content management system, we have not yet been able to systematically check and document whether the website meets all accessibility requirements. Because we are now using a modern content management system (WordPress) with an accessible basic layout, however, we assume that it already meets many of the technical requirements today. With the help of an inspection of a small selection of pages conducted on 18 January 2021 by the state inspection office for media accessibility, we were able to remedy shortcomings identified there and make improvements. We will continually implement the requirements described in the L-BBG in the systematic inspection of all pages to be conducted in the further course of the website relaunch process.

These web page is currently only partially compatible with § 10 paragraph 1 of the L-BGG due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions.

2. Non-Accessible Content

The content listed below is not accessible to persons with disabilities for the following reasons:

a) Incompatibility with section 10, paragraph 1 of the L-BGG:

  • No explanations in German sign language are available on the website.
  • No explanations in plain language are available on the website.

In the case of non-accessible content for which we cannot yet offer an alternative, please contact us using the contact options listed below so that we can find an individual solution to your issue.


Furthermore, your suggestions will help us to further adapt our content to make it more accessible.
