Accessibility statement

We want this website to be usable by deaf and hard-of-hearing people and by everyone. We aim for level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2.

Draft self-assessment · reviewed 12 November 2026 · not yet independently audited

This is a draft.

Conformance status

Target standard: WCAG 2.2, level AA. Current status: partially conformant by our own assessment. The site has not been audited by an independent body and has not yet been tested with assistive technology by deaf users.

What we have done

  • A “Skip to content” link and a single main landmark on every page.
  • The page language and each language button carry a lang attribute, so screen readers switch pronunciation.
  • A visible keyboard focus outline; the site can be used without a mouse.
  • Text contrast target of at least 4.5:1, and touch targets of at least 44 × 44 px.
  • No sideways scrolling down to a 320 px screen width.
  • Motion is reduced for visitors who ask for that in their system settings.
  • Any sign-language recording we publish will not start on its own and will always have a text version next to it.

Known limitations

  • Translations. The ten written languages were produced automatically and have not yet been reviewed by native signers or speakers. Wording may be wrong, especially in Finnish, Slovenian, Slovak and Czech.
  • Flags. The flags are simplified and mark a country, not a language. Each one carries a language code and name for screen readers.
  • Join form. The form opens your email app (a mailto: link). A form that works without an email app is planned.
  • Welcome video. The video in International Sign is not published yet. When it is, it will have a full text version.
  • Not yet tested. The pages have not been checked with screen readers or other assistive technology by deaf users, and have not been audited.

How this statement was prepared

Prepared on 12 November 2026 by Migam as a self-assessment, using a manual review of the pages together with an automated check (axe). We will repeat the checks as the site changes.

Feedback and contact

If you find something you cannot use, or you need information in another form, write to kontakt@migam.org. You can write in text or send a short video in International Sign, and we answer the same way.

Legal position

Whether the Polish Act on the digital accessibility of websites (Dz.U. 2023 poz. 1440) applies to EASLI is still being checked with a lawyer. Until that is settled we publish this statement voluntarily.
