Everyone has the right to request digital accessibility of a website or any of its elements. You can also request that information be made available using an alternative access method, for example, by reading a digitally inaccessible document, describing the content of a film without audio description, etc. The request should include the details of the person making the request, an indication of what material from the website is in question and the method of contact. If the requesting person reports the need to receive information using an alternative access method, he or she should also determine the method of presenting this information that is convenient for him or her. The Theatre Academy undertakes to fulfil the request immediately, no later than within 7 days from the date of the request. If it is impossible to meet this deadline, the Theatre Academy will immediately inform the person requesting when it is possible to fulfil the request (this deadline cannot be longer than 2 months from the date of the request). If ensuring digital accessibility is impossible, the Theatre Academy will propose an alternative way of accessing the information. If the Theatre Academy refuses to comply with a request to ensure accessibility or an alternative method of access to information, the person making the request may file a complaint regarding the digital accessibility of the website or its element. After exhausting the procedure indicated above, you can also submit an application to the Ombudsman: Ombudsman’s website.
