We are committed to making this portal accessible to all. We are dedicated to continuously improving accessibility of our services, with a focus on the anti-discrimination requirements of the Equal Opportunities Act (Persons with Disability) of 2000 (EOA).
Compliance process
This is designed to work optimally with the latest version of Microsoft Edge and the most recent versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers. (The site can work on previous versions but we highly recommend ensuring you are running the latest version for security purposes).
Accessibility measures
The website does not make use of font, magnification, and colour modification widgets. This is because we believe that this functionality is already integrated in most web browsers or is available via different add-ons and plugins which different users are free to customise to their needs. As a result, these arbitrary user customisations are available for most websites. In order to allow for this level of customisation, we seek to maximise compatibility with these user modifications.
As part of, and in addition, to the above-mentioned guidelines, the Gov.mt
- Maintain a consistent HTML Heading hierarchy and information layout across different web pages
- Information content is organised into HTML lists wherever applicable
- Deployment of a link focus highlighting script in order to provide visual cues for exclusive keyboard users
- RSS facility about new website content on pages of interest
- Addition of image title, alt tag and caption wherever this information is relevant and useful
- Maximise colour contrast for text where applicable
- Actual link text is descriptive enough to inform user where the link points to
