Accessibility Statement

The Belgian Disability Forum vzw (BDF) is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Act of 19 July 2018 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public authorities.

This accessibility statement applies to the website: https://bdf.belgium.be/.

Compliance status

The website is partially compliant with standard EN 301 549.

Non-accessible content

Although the BDF makes every effort to make the site accessible to everyone (including through the ‘Easy to read’ section), the following elements may still cause problems:

• PDF documents: Some older PDF documents and publications may not be fully accessible to screen readers. (If you require a PDF document that is not yet accessible, please contact the website administrator using the contact details provided in this accessibility statement so that you can receive an accessible PDF version.)
• Alternative text: Some images may still lack a correct text alternative.
• The newsletter unsubscribe page: the form is missing a label and a caption.
• In older texts, the value of a number of title attributes is identical to the text of a link.

The BDF is working on a structural solution to resolve these issues.

Alternatives

Alternatives to the non-accessible content are being incorporated following the simplified audit by the FPS BOSA.

Preparation of this statement

This statement was drawn up on 19 June 2026. The conformity assessment is based on:

• A simplified audit by the FPS BOSA. View the audit report here.
• The last revision took place on 14/09/2026.

In 2027, the FPS BOSA will schedule an in-depth accessibility audit to ensure full compliance. The website will be assessed against the criteria of the EN 301 549 standard.
