Technical information about the web site's accessibility
This website partially complies with the law on accessibility to digital public services due to the deficiencies outlined below.
Known accessibility flaws of the web site
Despite the web site being to a high degree compliant, it does have flaws that we are working on removing. Content that isn't fully accessible is described here:
-
Parts of the content in the pages of the web site resides within so called landmarks, which haven't been named. This makes it difficult for users with screen readers to know their purpose.
-
The inbuilt screen reader is not fully responsive and doesn't change appearance for users browsing on phone, which makes it difficult to use.
-
Some links lead to external web sites without notifying screen readers, using only visual icons to signal this.
-
Links to documents and external pages do not always describe where they lead to or that they are opened in a new browser window.
-
Content, structure and functionality in PDF documents has not been audited for accessibility. Samples indicates problem with accessibility.
-
In some places of the pages of the web site, a clearer focus on where you are, when navigating with a keyboard or voice control, is needed.
-
In the main menu, and certain links, the difference between holding your mouse cursor over them and not, is too small. This is true for example for the menu link "Find News" and page internal menus for page content.
-
A so called Aria Label is missing for the active link in the main menu, which prevents screen readers from telling what page in the main menu you are browsing.
