We are glad to announce the introduction on our website of a new Assistive Accessibility Toolbar. This feature is designed to empower users with situational disabilities who do not use screen readers. With this new tool, users can easily adjust, for instance, contrast, resize text for a personalised and better browsing experience.

The Assistive Toolbar provides simple, customisable tools that allow individuals to tailor the content in ways that best meet their needs, improving accessibility without disrupting their interaction with the site.

It's important to note that this new toolbar is not meant to replace EPSO’s commitment to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance. Rather, it complements our ongoing efforts to ensure accessibility for all users.

While responsive design is essential, research shows that it doesn’t always fully address the needs of individuals requiring specific cognitive or visual adjustments.
