HFML-FELIX strives to provide a website that satisfies the Decree on web accessibility for public sector bodies (only available in Dutch). This means that we want our website to be user-friendly and accessible for different target groups.

What constitutes an accessible website?

An accessible website is one that can be better navigated by all target groups. Functional, technical and editorial accessibility requirements therefore apply to websites from public sector bodies. These requirements are stipulated in international guidelines for web accessibility (only available in Dutch). You can read more about these on the government website concerning digital accessibility (only available in Dutch).

Assessment digital accessibility

In October 2025, the Dutch foundation Stichting Accessibility (Accessibility Foundation) conducted an initial investigation into whether or not our website meets accessibility requirements. Out of the 55 success criteria needed to get the highest status (AA), 15 still need to be improved.

Creating accessibility

Based on the results of the study (only available in Dutch, see Dutch page) by the Accessibility Foundation, HFML-FELIX is working on these improvements, aiming for the highest status in digital accessibility later this year.
