Non-accessible content
The content below is not yet accessible due to non-compliance with the Governance Decree:
- Some (complex) images do not have a correct alternative description or text alternative.
- Not all videos have subtitles and audio description. The video player does not provide the option to adjust or disable subtitling, and the hotkeys can be activated inadvertently through voice commands.
- Some lists or tables are not formatted correctly.
- Form fields do not always have autocomplete attributes that allow the form to be filled in automatically via the browser.
- Some images, such as infographics, lack sufficient contrast.
- Tooltips are not usable when magnified.
- Error messages do not always contain a suggestion to fix the error.
- The name, role, value and status of some components are not read aloud correctly by screen readers.
- Status messages in the chat are not read aloud by screen readers.
- Vlaanderen.be publishes documents, such as PDF files, of all the Flemish public administration services. Those documents do not always meet the accessibility requirements. Anyone who experiences problems can contact the service in question for an accessible alternative.
