Web accessibility of Staff

Linnaeus University is responsible for this website, the intranet Staff. We want to make sure that as many people as possible can use it. This web page describes how the intranet Staff meets the legal requirements of accessibility to digital public service, any known accessibility problems and how you can report flaws to us so that we can fix these.

How accessible is the website?

We are aware that some parts of the website are not fully accessible. See the section below on content that is not accessible for more information.

Technical information about the accessibility of the website

This website is partly compatible with the Law on Accessibility to Digital Public Service, due to the flaws described below.

Content that is not accessible

  • Some pictures do not have an alt text. In some cases, these pictures may be information-bearing, which means that visitors who cannot see the picture may miss out on information.
    (WCAG 1.1.1)

  • There are not always alternatives to sound or video. (WCAG 1.2.1)

  • Some videos lack subtitles. (WCAG 1.2.2)

  • There are videos that do not have visual interpretation or text options. (WCAG 1.2.3)

  • We do not always state in the code what role the different parts of a page have. Once we have adjusted this and use the html elements in the right way, we increase the chance of the information being presented correctly regardless of what tools are used by the user. (WCAG 1.3.1)

  • In some places the contrast between text and background is not high enough which can make the text difficult to read. (WCAG 1.4.3)

  • In some places, problems occur with displaying text when it is enlarged up to 200%. (WCAG 1.4.4)

  • The wording in some links is vague. This means that it can be difficult to know where the link directs you if you do not see the context of the link. (WCAG 2.4.4)

  • Some forms with input fields lack a clear description. (WCAG 3.3.2)

  • Certain element IDs are not unique. This means that the code does not fully validate with the standard. (WCAG 4.1.1)

  • There are some tailor-made components that do not function when using tools. (WCAG 4.1.2)

Problems when using PDF files:

  • Some PDF documents are not machine-readable.

  • Some PDF documents have not been labelled correctly, they can lack headings, titles, etc. This can involve difficulties for people who use screen readers.

We work continuously to reduce these accessibility problems.
