Compliance status

The website network.panterstiftung.de is partially compliant with the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The following content is not accessible for the reasons stated:

• The input fields of the newsletter form in the footer (first name, last name and email) are not properly associated with a label. Screen readers may therefore not announce these fields correctly.
• Some text has insufficient colour contrast against its background, which makes it difficult to read. On the homepage, this affects the heading “What the panternetwork is capable of”, the links for skipping the slider, and, in the footer, the text “Stay up to date” and the “Name” label in the newsletter form. On the Network page, the heading “Become part of the network!” is also affected.

We are working to fix these barriers as soon as possible.
