The Municipality of Kalamata is committed to making the website ycaf.kalamata.gr accessible, in accordance with Law 4727/2020 (Chapter H, Articles 36–47), which transposed into Greek law Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.
This accessibility statement applies to the website [https://ycaf.kalamata.gr], in all of its language versions (Greek and English).
1. Compliance Status
The website is fully compliant with ELOT EN 301 549 V3.2.1 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
2. Non-accessible Content
2.1 Content Outside the Scope of Application
- The application submission link directs users to an external platform that is not owned or operated by the Municipality of Kalamata and therefore does not fall within the scope of this statement. The Municipality has requested that the provider ensure a corresponding level of accessibility.
- PDF files that may be published and that were published before 23 September 2018 are outside the scope of application, in accordance with Article 37 of Law 4727/2020. The files published as part of this programme are subsequent to that date and are required to be accessible.
3. What Has Been Ensured
During the review, it was confirmed that the website:
- Specifies the language of each page in its code, so that screen readers can render it correctly, in both language versions.
- Provides alternative text for all content images.
- Provides a “Skip to content” link, allowing keyboard users to bypass the navigation.
- Follows a proper heading hierarchy (one level-one heading per page, with a logical sequence of subordinate heading levels).
- Provides an accessible name for all buttons and interactive elements.
- Uses a responsive layout, without horizontal scrolling on mobile devices.
4. Preparation of This Statement
This statement was prepared on 03/09/2026 and was last reviewed on 09/09/2026.
Method: self-assessment by the Municipality of Kalamata, based on a technical audit of the website against the WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria. The audit included automated testing of the pages and a review of the source code.
The statement will be reviewed annually or whenever the website changes materially.
