ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Accessibility on Vinterrustad.se
Vinterrustad is responsible for this website. We want knowledge about civil preparedness to be understandable and useful regardless of disability, age, technology or digital experience.
Vinterrustad is not a public authority. This statement follows the structure recommended by Sweden's Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) as a quality goal. It does not mean that Vinterrustad claims to be a public body or fully compliant with WCAG, EN 301 549 or Swedish law.
This page was translated from Swedish with AI. It has not undergone independent human language review. The Swedish original is the source for the site's accessibility status.
How accessible is this website?
Preliminary status: partially conformant with our target level of WCAG 2.2 A and AA.
Technical code review, automated checks and content review have been carried out. Full manual verification with screen readers, 400% zoom, adjusted text spacing, forced colours and multiple mobile devices remains to be done. We therefore do not describe this website as fully conformant.
If you cannot use part of the website
You can report the problem using the form on this page or email hej@vinterrustad.se.
If you need content in another format, use the same contact method. Describe what content you need and what format works for you. We aim to acknowledge reports within two working days and explain the next step within ten working days.
Scope of the review
The review covers the home page, the simple Swedish guide, this accessibility statement and interactive features for search, the menu, knowledge content, the seven-day check, budgeting, county selection, larger text and read aloud.
The game opens on Bitmagic and is a separate external product. It is outside the scope of the website's accessibility claim. The game link and information about the game on vinterrustad.se are in scope. Essential preparedness knowledge on this website should be usable without opening the game.
How we tested the website
We carried out an internal self-assessment of Vinterrustad.se. On 8 October 2026, we reviewed code and content and performed an AI-assisted check on the published website using Chrome, a keyboard and the browser's accessibility tree. An external AI report was used as review input, not as a verified WCAG certificate. The review included:
- headings, landmarks and skip links
- keyboard navigation and visible focus indicators
- the search dialog, mobile menu and dynamic status messages
- the seven-day check, text results and saved answers
- image descriptions, link names and form labels
- contrast, reduced motion, responsive layout and larger text
The checks include a production build, code review, semantics, form labels, key contrast calculations and automated regression tests. Automated checks and AI-assisted browser testing supplement, but do not replace, manual testing with screen readers, zoom, different screen sizes and users with disabilities.
Help with reading the content
The website has a simple English guide to crisis preparedness. The Swedish site's “Listen to this page” tool uses the device's built-in Swedish speech synthesis where supported. This English page attempts to use an installed English voice and says when no suitable voice is available. Larger text can be activated from the header and saved on this device.
Content that has not yet been fully verified
The following points are not confirmed defects. They describe areas still awaiting final manual verification.
Use without sight
The search dialog, mobile menu, seven-day check, dynamic messages and reading order need final testing with NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack.
Use with low vision
Every page and interactive mode needs final testing at 200% and 400% zoom, with adjusted text spacing and in forced-colour modes.
Use with limited dexterity or strength
The entire website needs final keyboard-only and touch-screen testing to confirm focus order, target size and that focus is not obscured.
Use with cognitive disabilities
The simple guide and instructions need user testing for clarity. “Listen to this page” uses browser speech synthesis and may work differently on different devices.
Outside the website's scope
Vinterrustad links to the game, authorities and other trusted organisations. Vinterrustad does not manage those external websites, maps, services or documents; they are outside this website's accessibility assessment. The links and context shown on vinterrustad.se remain in scope.
Report an accessibility problem
Tell us which page or feature is affected and what happened. Your browser, device, assistive technology and contact information are optional.
If the form does not work, you can send the same details directly to hej@vinterrustad.se.
How we handle a report
- We receive and acknowledge it. The report becomes an internal case in the accessibility log.
- We assess the impact. Problems blocking essential crisis information or a central function get priority.
- We fix and retest it. A case is not closed just because code has changed; the result must be verified.
- We respond. If you provided an email address, we will tell you the status and any alternative way to access the content.
Law and supervision
DIGG explains that Sweden's law on accessibility to digital public services applies to public bodies and certain privately run organisations with public funding. Vinterrustad publishes this statement voluntarily as part of its quality work. It does not claim that the website falls under that law.
