This accessibility statement applies to the online service www.kotouttaminen.fi/www.integration.fi and its related social media channels on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and SlideShare.
Kotouttaminen.fi is an online service of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, the content of which is provided by the Ministry’s Centre of Expertise in Immigration Integration. The Centre of Expertise is also responsible for the social media channels related to the online service. The beta version of integration.fi was published in June 2021. The new version is based on the former kotouttaminen.fi online service.
The accessibility statement was updated on 8 June 2021.
The online service partially meets the accessibility criteria
The Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which requires that public online services must be accessible, applies to the service. The website must partially meet levels A and AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
The website is not yet fully compliant with the accessibility requirements. The website contains content that is not covered by the legislation or that has not yet been made accessible due to a disproportionate burden.
Content not covered by the legislation
Office software files and images contained in them published in the online service and related social media channels before 23 September 2018 lack text equivalents and file settings, for example. The office software files were originally published on the kotouttaminen.fi service preceding kotoutuminen.fi/integration.fi, and we are, thus, continuously updating them to meet the accessibility requirements. Some video recordings published before 23 September 2020 do not contain subtitles.
The following are excluded from the scope of the legislation:
- Office software files (e.g. DOC, PDF) published before 23 September 2018.
- Live video or audio broadcasts that are not recorded for storage or publication.
- Video or voice recordings published before 23 September 2020.
The list below details the deficiencies in accessibility and the corresponding WCAG criteria they violate. We will update the report once the deficiencies in accessibility mentioned below have been rectified.
- Missing headings or text equivalents: PowerPoint presentations published on SlideShare do not fully comply with the accessibility requirements. The presentations lack text equivalents, a reading sequence and headings. WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text content, 1.3.2 Meaningful sequence.
- Focus order: The level of headings in “read more/more information” does not follow the focus order. WCAG 2.4.3 Focus order, 2.4.6 Headings and labels.
