Our aim

The hautevere.be website aims to comply with Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1), which forms the basis of the European standard EN 301 549. This statement is voluntary: the Neighbourhood Council is not a public body.

Compliance status

The website is partially compliant: it has been designed and tested to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA criteria, but no independent audit has yet been carried out.

What has been put in place

  • Full keyboard navigation, focus always visible, ‘Skip to content’ link.
  • Colour contrast automatically checked (minimum 4.5:1 for text).
  • Statuses (open, in progress, resolved, blocked) are indicated by text and an icon, never by colour alone.
  • Font designed for readability (Atkinson Hyperlegible), text can be enlarged up to 200 per cent.
  • Display settings (the ‘Display’ button at the top of the page): text size and enhanced contrast.
  • Forms with clear labels and field-specific error messages.
  • Printable pages; the website can be used without JavaScript; animations are disabled if your system requires it.
  • Automated accessibility tests (axe-core) on the main pages.

Known limitations

  • Some PDF documents may not be accessible. The main content of the reports is reproduced on a web page. We can provide an accessible version on request.
  • The ‘Evere on the map’ map on the homepage comes from Google Maps: it cannot be fully navigated using a keyboard or a screen reader. There is also a link that allows you to open it directly in Google Maps.

Test environment

Tests carried out using Chrome (on a computer, with screen widths ranging from 320 to 1,440 pixels), keyboard navigation and automated tools.
