2 Non-accessible content
The following content is not fully accessible for the following reasons:
a) Incompatibility with Accessibility Provisions:
Not all images have meaningful alternative text. Some images lack the alt attribute. As a result, VoiceOver reads the image path (WCAG Success Criterion 1.1.1 Non-Text Content).
Some content is not yet accessible for technical reasons. If this prevents you from accessing information, please contact kontakt@goeg.at. The “Nursing in Austria” project team will make efforts to provide you with the desired content with accessible alternatives.
b) The content does not fall within the scope of the applicable legal provisions:
Content from third parties, such as studies that are not within the control of the Austrian National Public Health Institute (GÖG), is exempt from Directive (EU) 2016/2102. No statement can be made regarding the compatibility of these third-party contents with accessibility provisions.
