Digital accessibility in public debate – a topic of increasing relevance
With the enforcement of the Accessibility Strengthening Act, digital participation has evolved from a specialist topic into a matter of public concern. Those reporting on this topic can find well-founded information on the legal framework from official institutions such as the Federal Centre of Expertise on Accessibility, whilst the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines define the technical standards against which accessible websites are evaluated. IFDB analyses these developments from the perspective of daily audit practice – objectively, reliably and without alarmism.
