Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales

Accessibility for the ZBFS

Accessibility According to Modern Standards

As state authority of the Bavarian State Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Family and Integration, the Bavarian Centre for Family and Welfare (ZBFS) is responsible for the social services of the Free State. These include, for example, the implementation of the Federal Parental Benefit and Parental Leave Act, the promotion of disabled people's participation in working and professional life and child and youth welfare. To ensure that all citizens have access to the information and applications of the ZBFS, a barrier-free design of the website is essential. To ensure this, Telekom MMS examined selected websites of the CSO according to the BIK BITV test, which is based on the German Federal Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0). The test not only identified problems, but also provided the ZBFS with solution recommendations on how its websites can be designed barrier-free in accordance with legal requirements.

Requirement

Smoothing the way to accessibility according to BITV 2.0

On its website, the Center for Bavarian Family and Social Affairs provides important offers and information on all its areas of responsibility, which should be fully accessible to all population groups - to disabled people in particular. This is also provided explicitly in the Federal Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0), which has been mandatory for public institutions since September 2019. In order to meet these legal requirements and to make the services accessible for people with different disabilities, the websites of the ZBFS will be tested thoroughly in the near future.

Solution

Reliable fault analysis by proven test method

Telekom MMS tested selected pages of the ZBFS according to the BIK BITV test procedure accompanying the development. With the help of this procedure, the pages were partly automated and partly manually tested for perceptibility, usability, comprehensibility and robustness for different forms of accessibility. Thus, all accessibility requirements were taken into account, the errors found were broken down in detail and the ZBFS was provided with solution proposals.

Benefits

Barrier-free accessibility according to latest standards

Through the detailed examination of the web pages, Telekom MMS was able to identify errors that restricted accessibility for different user groups and to recommend concrete measures to the CEFSO to remedy the problems. As a result, the ZBFS can now meet the requirements of BITV 2.0 and provide the citizens of Bavaria with all its information and services, regardless of any impairments.
