The Public Health Agency of Barcelona (ASPB), a key organization in the promotion of health and disease prevention in the city, has trusted Your Accessible Web to evaluate and guarantee the digital accessibility of its main web portal. This collaboration reflects the ASPB’s commitment to equity in access to information and essential public services, especially for the most vulnerable groups.
A project focused on regulatory compliance
The project carried out by Tu Web Accessible has included a complete set of key actions to ensure the alignment of the ASPB website with the Royal Decree 1112/2018 and the UNE-EN standard 301549:2022:
- Digital accessibility audit: A complete technical review of the portal was carried out, identifying barriers that could hinder access for users with disabilities or special needs.
- Error report and proposed solutions: The errors detected were documented in detail and specific recommendations were offered for their correction, always adapted to the technical context of the site.
- Accessibility Review Report (IRA): We prepare the technical report required by the regulations, following the model of the Accessibility Responsible Unit (URA) and with a practical approach to facilitate its use by the ASPB technical team.
- Accessibility Declaration: We drafted the official declaration, adjusted to the European model, ensuring transparency and institutional commitment to accessibility.
Results obtained
Thanks to this work, the Barcelona Public Health Agency now has:
- A complete and accurate diagnosis of the accessibility status of your portal.
- A clear roadmap for bug fixes and continuous improvement.
- All the documentation required by current legislation, ready to be published and presented to the competent bodies.
Institutional impact
The ASPB’s involvement in this process highlights its sensitivity towards digital inclusion. The web portal is a fundamental tool to inform, educate and provide service to citizens in matters of public health. Guaranteeing its accessibility contributes directly to the reduction of inequalities and the strengthening of the right to information of all people, especially those in the most vulnerable situations.
