Web Accessibility Initiatives

What is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility means that everyone, including the elderly and people with disabilities, can easily use the information and functions provided on websites, etc. (From the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Public Website Operation Guidelines for Everyone (2024 Edition)").

In recent years, websites have become increasingly important as a means of providing information, and it is becoming increasingly important for everyone to be able to access the information they need, regardless of their age, disability, device, or environment.
In April 2024, amendments to the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities will make it mandatory for not only government agencies but also private businesses to "provide reasonable accommodation," making consideration for web accessibility an even more important social responsibility.

Dementia care basic training e-learning information site initiative

The Dementia Care Basic Training e-learning information site is designed with accessibility in mind so that all users, including the elderly, people with disabilities, and foreigners, can easily obtain information and complete procedures.
In fiscal year 2025, we conducted a third-party evaluation based on WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1), an international web accessibility guideline, with the goal of achieving conformance level AA.
