Accessibility Statement

CVO Brussel strives for an accessible website: user-friendly and readable for everyone, in accordance with the law of 19 July 2018 regarding the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of government agencies. 

This accessibility statement applies to the website www.cvobrussel.be and was first drawn up on 18 August 2026 following an internal self-assessment.

Last revised on:  26 August 2026

Compliance status

This website partially complies with the Level A and AA of the WCAG 2.1.

We base this on the four principles of WCAG 2.1: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.

Non-accessible content we are working on

  • Some non-text content lacks an alternative (alt text, subtitles, audio transcripts, etc.).
  • The structure of the website cannot always be correctly interpreted by screen readers.
  • Colour is sometimes the only visual means used to convey information, and in some cases, the colour contrast is insufficient.
  • If an audio playback on a web page automatically plays for more than 3 seconds, there is no mechanism available to pause or stop the playback, or to adjust the volume independently of the overall system volume.
  • The website is not fully operable via a keyboard interface or motion activation; not all keyboard shortcuts are available.
  • There is no mechanism available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple web pages.
  • Heading structure (H1, H2, H3, etc.) is not always applied correctly.
  • Links are sometimes not sufficiently descriptive ("more info", "read more").
  • Error messages do not always include a suggestion for resolving the error.
