This website is partially compliant with the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities due to [incompatibilities and exclusions] listed below.

Inaccessible content

Non-compliance with the appendix

1. Due to technical constraints:

   • malfunction of the focus may occur in modal windows,

   • occasionally there are form fields that do not have properly defined labels and described form fields,

   • there are cases of inconsistent navigation,

   • there are cases of inconsistent identification of website elements,

   • there may be occasional elements that are inaccessible from the keyboard, which can be handled in another way,

   • there are occasional errors in HTML syntax.

2. Due to content entry mistakes:

   • occasionally the lang attribute may not be correctly indicated for inserted quotes or names,

   • there may be descriptions and instructions regarding sensory properties, e.g., colours, position,

   • some attachments may not have information on file size and format,

   • lists of items may be split into several separate lists and do not reflect the correct relationships between the content,

   • links on the site open pages in new windows or browser tabs in accordance with the information provided in their descriptions, but in exceptional cases:

     • pages may open in a new window without informing the user,

     • you may receive an erroneous message about a link opening in a new window,

3. For various reasons, in exceptional situations:

   • the order and hierarchy of headings may be disrupted,

   • there may be situations where the required contrast level of 4.5:1 is not met,

   • distorted elements may appear when the page is enlarged to 200%,

   • links may not have a defined purpose or may have an incorrectly defined purpose,

   • there may be situations where the uniqueness of page titles is not maintained.

Content not covered by the regulations

There may be situations where, despite the efforts of the site editors, certain documents published on the site are not available due to the fact that:

• they come from different sources,

• they are structured in a way that cannot be interfered with – e.g. files are made available to programmers and describe a document schema,

• they were published based on rules adopted in another institution,

• they were published before the Digital Accessibility Act came into force,

The Ministry makes every effort to ensure that the indicated inconsistencies and exclusions, where possible, are removed and corrected, and that the website is digitally accessible to the widest possible audience of the service.
