Accessibility Statement
The National
Statistics Office (NSO) recognises the importance of ensuring that the
website is accessible to everyone and is committed to making the content accessible
to all users and improve its website user experience. We are continuously working
to enhance our website structure, content and navigation to better conform to the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and all the other accessibility
requirements and recommendations requested by the Government of Malta ICT
(GMICT) policies.
Our website, nso.gov.mt, does
not fully conform to the accessibility standard and is therefore partially
conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. However, the NSO, is in the
process of programming and designing a new website which will replace the
existing one by 2022. Moreover, the NSO is in the process of piloting a
replacement system for the online Statistical Database, currently known as
STATDB, and the new system will be fully compliant to these standards.
We acknowledge
that some of our users might find difficulties with accessing our dissemination
products, like news releases and publications, which are available in Portable
Document Format (PDF). Users might also
find difficulties to navigate in this website using just a keyboard and a
screen reader software. Users
experiencing these difficulties are kindly requested to contact the Communication
and Dissemination Unit for assistance.
Feedback and assistance
The NSO welcomes
your feedback on the accessibility of our website and the digital tools. Please
let us know if you encounter any accessibility issues and we will be pleased to
help with your query.
