Accessibility Statement

French Compliance Institute

French Compliance Institute is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities.

We strive to provide an inclusive and accessible online experience so that everyone can access our training services and digital resources without barriers.

This Accessibility Statement explains our efforts to comply with recognised accessibility standards and describes how users can report accessibility issues.

1. Commitment to Accessibility

French Compliance Institute aims to make its website and digital learning services accessible to the widest possible audience.

We support the principles of inclusive digital access and seek to ensure that users with disabilities can navigate, understand, and interact with our website effectively.

Accessibility is an important part of providing equal access to education and professional training services.

2. Applicable Accessibility Standards

Our accessibility efforts are guided by widely recognised European and international standards.

These include:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA
  • EN 301 549 European accessibility standard
  • European Accessibility Act (EAA)

WCAG provides internationally recognised guidance on making web content accessible and forms the technical foundation for many accessibility regulations across Europe.

The EN 301 549 standard establishes accessibility requirements for digital services within the European Union and aligns closely with WCAG guidelines.

3. Compliance Status

The French Compliance Institute website aims to conform as closely as possible to WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards.

We work to ensure that our website is:

  • Perceivable – content can be perceived by all users
  • Operable – users can navigate the website using various input methods
  • Understandable – content and navigation are clear and consistent
  • Robust – content works with assistive technologies.

These principles are commonly referred to as the POUR accessibility principles.

4. Accessibility Features

To improve accessibility, the website may incorporate features such as:

  • clear and structured navigation
  • readable fonts and sufficient colour contrast
  • compatibility with keyboard navigation
  • compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
  • accessible forms and interactive elements where possible.

Accessibility improvements are implemented continuously as the website evolves.

5. Compatibility with Assistive Technologies

The website is designed to be compatible with commonly used assistive technologies.

These may include:

  • screen readers
  • speech recognition software
  • keyboard-only navigation
  • browser accessibility tools.

The website is intended to function with modern browsers and accessibility technologies.

6. Known Accessibility Limitations

Despite our efforts to ensure accessibility, some areas of the website may not yet fully comply with accessibility standards.

Examples may include:

  • certain multimedia content that may require additional captions or transcripts
  • third-party content integrated into the website
  • legacy content published before accessibility improvements were implemented.

We are actively working to improve accessibility and reduce such limitations.

7. Feedback and Accessibility Support

We welcome feedback regarding the accessibility of our website.

If you encounter accessibility barriers or require assistance accessing any content, please contact us.

You may report accessibility issues by contacting:

Email: [email protected]

Please include:

  • the webpage where the issue occurred
  • a description of the accessibility problem
  • the device or assistive technology used (if relevant).

We will make reasonable efforts to respond to accessibility requests and improve the user experience.

8. Continuous Improvement

French Compliance Institute recognises that digital accessibility is an ongoing process.

We are committed to improving accessibility through:

  • periodic review of website content
  • monitoring of accessibility standards
  • implementation of improvements where necessary.

European legislation increasingly requires digital services to provide accessible experiences for people with disabilities, and organisations are expected to adopt accessibility standards in their online platforms.

Our organisation supports these principles and aims to align with evolving accessibility requirements.

9. Preparation of this Statement

This statement has been prepared based on a general review of the website and reference to recognised digital accessibility standards.

The statement will be reviewed periodically and updated when significant changes are made to the website.
