Handling requests and complaints relating to accessibility
Everyone has the right to request the provision of accessibility to a digital website, mobile application or some element thereof. A person may also request that the information be made accessible by an alternative means of accessibility, for example, by having a digitally inaccessible document read, the content of a film lacking an audio description described, etc. The request should include information about who is making the request, the identification of the website or mobile application for which the information is being requested, and how best to contact them. If the requester wishes to receive the information by means of an alternative means of access, they should also specify how the information should be presented to ensure its accessibility. The public body should comply with the request without delay and no later than 7 days from the date of the request. If it is not possible to meet this deadline, the public body shall inform the requester without delay about when it will be possible to comply with the request, but the deadline shall not be longer than 2 months from the date of the request. If digital accessibility is not possible, the public body may propose an alternative means of accessing the information. If the public body refuses to comply with a request to provide accessibility or an alternative means of accessing the information, the requester may file a complaint about the provision of digital accessibility of the website, mobile application or an element thereof. After exhausting the procedure indicated above, the matter may be referred to the Commissioner for Human Rights.
