Accessibility statement

The Office of the Ombudsman for Children in Finland is committed to providing accessibility on the website lapsiasia.fi in accordance with the Act on the Provision of Digital Services 306/2019. This accessibility statement applies to the service lapsiasia.fi and was created on 22 September 2020 and updated on 14 April 2023.

An accessibility audit has been conducted out on the website of the Ombudsman for Children on 21 October 2020 and again in September-October 2022. 

State of accessibility of the digital service

  • adding programmatic annotations to support screen reader use
  • fixing problems with keyboard and screen reader usage
  • fixing scalability and text magnification issues
  • fixing issues with the search function and form elements
  • ensuring the accessibility of pdf files.

Content not covered by the legislation

  • productivity software files (e.g. doc, pdf, odt) published before 23 September 2018

  • video and audio recordings published before 23 September 2020.
