Accessibility Policy
The Régie des rentes du Québec is committed to ensuring the accessibility of its Web site to people with disabilities or major technical limitations. Most of the current or future contents are or soon will be in conformity with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 level 1 or A issued by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Improved accessibility on the Régie's Web site
To improve accessibility on our site, we have put into place some widely accepted accessibility standards:
- organize the contents of each page according to a hierarchy of titles and subtitles
- give a text equivalent for images
- distinguish the contents and structure from the presentation format by using cascading style sheets (CSS)
- use valid codes and style sheets
- develop coherent and clear navigation methods for the user
- use simple language as much as possible
- provide a link to go directly to page contents
- configure useful keyboard shortcuts
Note that...
The contents of the following do not, for the time being, respect the guidelines:
- search engine
- our on-line NetRégie services
- flash Retirement Québec capsules
- list of given names
- demonstrations
