Accessibility Statement
We strive to make our website barrier-free accessible.
The legal basis for this is the Bremen Disability Equality Act, Directive (EU) 2016/2102 and the Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance BITV 2.0 in their respective valid versions. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG) were used to assess accessibility . The accessibility test is based on the harmonized EU standard EN 301 549.
The digital accessibility of the website www.klinikum-bremerhaven.de was checked by the service provider netactive GmbH in accordance with the WCAG self-assessment. Furthermore, the Central Office for Accessible Information Technology subjected the site to simplified monitoring, in which selected criteria from the EN 301 549 standard were checked . The identified deficiencies have been corrected in the meantime.
In addition, our website provides information in plain language about content, operation and accessibility. Two videos convey our accessibility declaration in German sign language and present the content, operation and navigation of our website in German sign language. Both videos also have written subtitles.
This statement was created on September 20, 2021 and last revised on July 4, 2023.
