تحديث فعّال في جميع المكاتب المشتركة في منظومة ليدين بتاريخ 26.08.2026.
An accessibility statement is required by תקנה 35ה of the Israeli equal rights for people with disabilities regulations: whoever provides a service online publishes what has been done to make it accessible and who to contact when something does not work. Every office in the system now has one — a public page of its own.
The page opens without signing in, and that is not a technical detail: someone who could not get past a screen has to reach the statement and get in touch without going through that very screen first. The הצהרת נגישות link also sits on the sign-in screen.
One page, two languages — Hebrew first, Russian below — and the same five things in each:
- the accessibility level: the system is built to the Israeli standard ת״י 5568 at level AA, which is the Israeli edition of WCAG 2.1;
- what has been done: accessibility is implemented in the markup itself. No external accessibility widget is used — that floating button in the corner of many sites does not count as meeting the standard;
- the state of testing as it is: a full accessibility audit has not been carried out yet, and the statement says so plainly instead of “the site is fully accessible”. An audit date is never filled in automatically — only the date of an audit that actually took place;
- known limitations, where the office has any;
- accessibility inquiries: the name of the contact person, their role and ways to reach them, what is worth including in an inquiry, and how quickly it is answered — receipt confirmed by the next working day, and a substantive reply within the period named in the statement itself.
The contact details are an office setting, and the statement is published only once they are filled in. A statement with nobody to turn to is worse than none at all: it promises an answer and does not give one. So without a contact the page simply does not exist. We fill the details in when the office is connected, as we do with the logo and the colour.
