Accessibility declaration

KAN strives to make its website accessible in accordance with national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.

This declaration of accessibility is valid as of 11 May 2021 for the nora.kan-praxis.de website.
 

Compliance with the requirements

In Germany, accessibility requirements arise from Sections 3 (1) to (4) and 4 of the German BITV 2.0 regulation governing eAccessibility to information technology, which was adopted pursuant to Section 12d of the German Disability Discrimination and General Equal Treatment Act (BGG).

The compliance review is based on a self-assessment conducted in May 2021.

The review showed the website to be only partly compliant with these requirements, owing to the issues described below.

Dispute arbitration

Germany's Federal Government Commissioner for Matters relating to Persons with Disabilities has an arbitration service pursuant to Section 16 of the BGG. The arbitration service has the task of resolving conflicts between persons with disabilities and federal public bodies.

You can call upon the arbitration service if you are dissatisfied with the answers you receive from the above contact facility. 
The arbitration procedure is free of charge, and does not require you to have legal representation.

The arbitration service's website provides comprehensive information on the service. It describes the procedure and how to request arbitration. You can also submit the application in German easy language (LS) or in German sign language.
