Website Accessibility Statement

The Slovak National Theatre seeks to ensure the accessibility of its website in accordance with Act No. 95/2019 Coll. on Information Technologies in Public Administration and on Amendments to Certain Acts, as amended, and the relevant implementing regulations.
 
This accessibility statement applies to the website snd.sk.
 
Compliance Status
This website is partially compliant with Act No. 95/2019 Coll. and Decree No. 78/2020 Coll. (Standards Decree) due to the non-compliant elements listed below.
 
According to simplified monitoring carried out by the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic in January 2026, the level of accessibility is 48%.
 
Inaccessible Content
The content listed below is not accessible for the following reasons:
 
Non-compliance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102 and national ITVS standards:
The website contains deficiencies that prevent persons with disabilities from fully accessing information.
The content listed below is not accessible due to non-compliance with accessibility standards pursuant to Decree No. 78/2020 Coll.:
 
Non-text content and multimedia:
Images conveying information (e.g. PDF format icons) do not have an assigned text alternative.
Videos published on the website do not contain subtitles for deaf or hard-of-hearing users.
Hyperlinks consisting solely of an image do not have a defined accessible name.
 
Document structure and semantics:
Lists and headings are created visually (by text formatting) in several instances without the use of semantic HTML elements (<ul>, <li>, <h1>–<h6>), which impedes navigation by assistive technologies.
Many PDF documents are published as scanned images without a text layer (OCR).
Downloadable files do not indicate the file type and size in the link text.
 
Handling and Navigation:
The website does not provide a functional mechanism for skipping repetitive content blocks (skip link).
Certain key elements, such as language selection in the mobile version menu, cannot be accessed and operated using a keyboard.
The focus indicator is hidden or insufficiently visible in certain parts of the website.
When navigating using a keyboard, the information banner on cookies appears as the last element rather than at the beginning.
The carousel on the home page cannot be paused or hidden.
 
Visual aspects and forms:
Several text elements and input field borders do not meet the required contrast ratio against the background.
When the text is enlarged to 190%, content overlaps.
Forms do not provide an explanation of mandatory fields (asterisk) and do not offer specific guidance for correcting input errors (e.g. invalid email format).
Certain parts of the text in a foreign language (e.g. English artist profiles) do not have the correct language attribute set in the source code, which results in incorrect rendering by assistive technologies.
 
Preparation of this Accessibility Statement

The assessment was carried out on the basis of monitoring conducted by the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic (simplified method) during the period from November 15, 2025, to November 25, 2025.
