This statement applies to the content and functionality of the website available at the domain http://alapiskola.balognadiplom.sk and to the mobile versions of this website.

Compliance status

This school website is in full compliance with the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and the harmonised European standard EN 301 549 V3.1.1+ (which is based on the WCAG 2.2 AA standard). This statement has been prepared on the basis of an internal audit. The website is regularly tested using a combination of automated tools and manual testing by persons with disabilities.

Inaccessible content

Based on the audit performed, no content has been identified to date that is inaccessible or non‑compliant with the EAA and EN 301 549. If, despite our efforts, you encounter any barrier, please let us know – your feedback helps us continuously improve accessibility.

Our service was already provided to consumers before 28 June 2025. Under Article 32(2) of Directive (EU) 2019/882 (EAA), we may continue to provide the service unchanged until 28 June 2030. Nevertheless, we have voluntarily decided to bring the website into full compliance with the EAA and the relevant technical standards now, in order to ensure the best possible user experience for everyone.

Enforcement procedure for accessibility

In the Slovak Republic, that authority is the Slovak Trade Inspection (SOI), which is competent to examine complaints concerning the accessibility of websites. Contact information for the SOI can be found at www.soi.sk. You may also submit a complaint to the European Commission through the EAA Single Contact Point.
