Declaration on accessibility

We strive to make the web presence of the Bremen Cancer Registry accessible. The declaration on accessibility is required by the Bremen Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act. The technical requirements for accessibility are derived from BITV 2.0.

This declaration on digital accessibility applies to www.krebsregister-bremen.de.

How accessible is the website?
This website is only partially barrier-free. The requirements of BITV 2.0 are only partially met.

Which areas are not accessible?
- Descriptions for tables are partially missing.
- The assignment of table cells is missing for some tables.
- Partially missing alternatives / alternative texts for images and videos.
- Partially missing alternatives / alternative texts for control elements.
- Colors and contrasts are not accessible in a few cases.
- Not all documents (e.g. PDF documents) are available in an accessible form.
- There is no high-contrast version of the web page.
- There is no easy-language version of the website.

Justification
Training of staff and testing of web pages for accessibility is a continuous process at the Bremen Cancer Registry.
We are making efforts to gradually convert the web pages and documents to an accessible presence.

Disproportionate burden
Subareas that are not designed to be accessible because it would be a disproportionate burden (BremBGG § 13 (5)):

Subarea: Texts
a. Description

Scientific texts can only partly be formulated in easy language. In most cases, they are addressed to a specialized audience with corresponding prior knowledge. The use of relevant terminology and expressions in parts of the internet offer is due to the using target groups and partly to their scientific background. Nevertheless, the editors strive for clear comprehensibility in the wording of the texts.
Subsection: Graphics with text
On some pages there are graphics with text.
Explanation why disproportionate burden is present.
The graphics / illustrations are mostly used to illustrate scientific processes, most of which are described in the text, but are generally aimed at a specialist audience with appropriate prior knowledge.

When and how was the accessibility statement created?
This declaration was revised on 16/01/2024. We are planning a fundamental revision of the website in 2024 with a view to accessibility.

The technical review of accessibility was conducted by:
BIPS Communications and Transfer Team.
