Accessibility Statement
1. Commitment to Accessibility
FERO Foundation is committed to digital accessibility and strives to ensure its website is usable, understandable, and accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities, older adults, and those who use assistive technologies.
Accessibility will be considered in the design, development, maintenance, and updating of content published on this website.
2. Scope of Application
This accessibility statement applies to the website:
It will also apply, to the extent that they are technically dependent on FERO Foundation, to its subdomains, forms, digital content, and pages linked to its activities, projects, donations, campaigns, calls for proposals, and institutional communications.
However, some third-party integrated services, content, or tools may be subject to their own technical conditions and accessibility policies.
3. Compliance Status
The FERO Foundation website strives to comply with accessibility criteria recognized by applicable regulations and technical reference standards, especially WCAG guidelines and the UNE-EN 301 549 standard.
Currently, the website is considered partially compliant, as there may be content, documents, visual elements, forms, third-party components, or functionalities that do not yet fully meet all accessibility requirements.
FERO Foundation will continue to progressively review and improve the website to correct any detected barriers.
4. Inaccessible Content
The content listed below may not be fully accessible for any of the following reasons:
- Some PDF documents or other downloadable formats may not be fully adapted for screen readers.
- Some older images may not yet have sufficiently descriptive alternative text.
- Some videos or audiovisual content may not include subtitles, transcription, or audio description.
- Some elements from external tools, donation platforms, maps, videos, social networks, or third-party forms may not be entirely under the technical control of FERO Foundation.
- There may be occasional errors in markup, heading hierarchy, contrast, keyboard navigation, or form labels that will be progressively corrected.
FERO Foundation will prioritize correcting elements that most directly affect access to essential information, contact forms, donations, the Whistleblower Channel, and other main services of the website.
