Barrier-free access to the city of Beckum

The city of Beckum is a public authority.

For example, I can submit an application to a public authority.

The goal of the city of Beckum is a barrier-free internet site.

The apps of the city of Beckum should also be barrier-free.

Accessibility is written into various laws.

For example:

• Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance NRW
• Disability Equality Act NRW
• Disability Rights Convention of the United Nations

This website and the apps must become even more barrier-free.

The city of Beckum is working on this.

There is sufficient contrast.

The font is large.

The menu is clear.

I can operate the navigation with the computer mouse.

There are texts in plain language.

And there are videos in sign language.

I can easily find all services and contact persons using the search function.

The language is understandable.

I can use the Ctrl and + or - keys to enlarge or reduce the font size.

The texts are read aloud.

The pictures are described. These texts can be read aloud on reading devices.

The texts are also easy to read on a smartphone or tablet.

The documents are PDF files.

PDF files can be read aloud well.

There are only a few texts in plain language.

And only a few videos in sign language.

The videos do not yet have subtitles.

The town of Beckum wants to provide good information.

And is happy about my suggestions:

There is a form at the bottom of each page.

I can fill this out and send it.

Then the city of Beckum can improve the website.

I have further ideas for improvement?

Then I can send an e-mail to pressestelle@beckum.de.

This declaration was prepared on 5 March 2024.
