Violence Prevention Network is one of Europe’s leading practitioner hubs working nationally and internationally with over 120 experts. Our common goal is to support first-line practitioners, policy makers and researchers to bring about positive change in local efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism worldwide.
By building on our first-hand insights and experiences from daily casework with radicalised offenders and at-risk individuals, we work to empower whole-of-society partnerships, bridge capacity gaps of key actors and provide practitioner input for sustainable policies and practical solutions.

All content and functions are being evaluated based on the four principles of WCAG 2.1:
After completion, we will:
Regardless of the audit, it remains our goal to progressively reduce existing barriers and to adapt protected content to WCAG 2.1 AA requirements wherever technically and economically feasible.
Our optimisation strategy is based on WCAG 2.1 conformance level AA and, where technically and editorially appropriate, additionally aims to implement selected criteria from level AAA (AA+).
The goal is to continuously improve accessibility without compromising system stability or user experience. Specifically:
This component-based and continuous improvement process serves to sustainably enhance digital accessibility in line with the legal and normative frameworks of BITV 2.0, BGG, Directive (EU) 2016/2102, and WCAG 2.1 – without impairing system stability or user experience.
An overview of identified optimisation potentials and planned measures with timelines will be published in this statement after completion of the audit.
The audit followed this process:
More information about the testing procedure is available upon request.
Our objective is to reliably meet the legal requirements of WCAG 2.1 level AA and additionally implement selected elements of enhanced digital accessibility (partially WCAG 2.1 AAA) where appropriate and technically feasible.
Implementation will occur through re-audits, module-specific updates, and project-related maintenance processes. All relevant measures, deadlines, and responsibilities will be documented transparently.
This website is optimised for current browser generations (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and supports adaptive technologies such as screen readers and zoom functions. System-level settings (e.g., reduced motion) are considered wherever technically possible.
This website is undergoing an ongoing accessibility audit. Identified optimisation potentials and planned measures will be published after completion of the audit.
