We want this website to be accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of the device or assistive technology used. This statement describes the accessibility status of the site, its known limitations and how to give feedback.
1. Conformance status
The site aims to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). It is currently partially conformant: most of the guidelines are met, and work continues in the areas listed below.
2. Measures taken
- A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between text and background; brand colours for headings and buttons were selected against this criterion.
- A meaningful heading hierarchy (H1–H3) and a page structure compatible with screen readers.
- Alternative text on all informative images; empty alt attributes on decorative ones.
- Full keyboard navigation: menus, buttons and form fields can be operated with the keyboard alone.
- A correct language attribute on every page (
lang="tr"/lang="en"), so screen readers pronounce content correctly. - Responsive design; content remains readable at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling.
- Link text is understandable out of context; phrases such as “click here” are not used.
- No audio plays automatically; the introductory video starts muted and can be paused.
3. Known limitations
Full conformance has not yet been achieved in the following areas:
| Limitation | Reason | Planned remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Some PDF publications are not tagged | Part of the documents were produced before the project or by third parties | New publications produced under the project will be published as tagged PDFs |
| Some embedded videos lack captions | Caption production is ongoing | Turkish and English captions will be added to project videos |
| Social media feed and embedded content | Produced by third-party platforms; their markup is outside our control | The same content is also presented accessibly in the News section |
| Some infographics have no text equivalent | Part of the visuals were produced at the design stage | Long descriptions will be added to complex graphics |
4. Feedback
