This website is partially compliant with Spanish Royal Decree 1112/2018 due to the instances of non-compliance listed below.

The content listed below is not accessible for the following reasons:

• Some controls built using non-interactive elements, image links and a job-vacancies iframe do not have an appropriate programmatic name, role or title. [9.4.1.2 Name, Role, Value of UNE-EN 301 549:2022].
