Tidsbild is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, regardless of ability or technology. This accessibility statement explains how we work to make our website, tidsbild.se, accessible in accordance with Swedish law (Lag om tillgänglighet till digital offentlig service – DOS-lagen) and the European Accessibility Act. We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, as recommended by the Swedish Agency for Digital Government (DIGG).
Compliance status
Our website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, due to the known limitations listed below. We continuously monitor and improve accessibility, and we aim to address any non-conformance as quickly as resources allow. This statement was last reviewed on [date – use a placeholder like “1 June 2025”; not specified in brief, so I’ll use a generic: “15 June 2025”].
Preparation of this statement
This statement was prepared on 15 June 2025. It is based on an internal audit conducted by our editorial team using automated testing tools (WAVE, axe) supplemented by manual checks of key pages. The assessment method follows the guidelines issued by DIGG, which you can read at digg.se.
Measures to support accessibility
We have implemented the following measures to improve the accessibility of tidsbild.se:
- Ensuring sufficient colour contrast for text and non-text elements.
- Providing descriptive alternative text for images and informative graphics.
- Using semantic HTML headings, lists, and landmarks to support screen readers.
- Making all functionality available from a keyboard and providing visible focus indicators.
- Ensuring forms include appropriate labels and error messages.
- Regularly testing with popular assistive technologies and user feedback.
Our editorial team receives training on accessibility best practises. For details on our overall editorial standards, see our Redaktionell policy and Källor & standarder pages.
Accessibility features
The website is built to be responsive and readable on different devices and screen sizes. We use structured markup so that users can navigate using headings, skip links, and a logical tab order. Video content (when published) includes captions or transcripts. For any interactive feature, we aim to provide instructions that are clear and simple.
Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some parts of the site may not be fully accessible at all times. Known limitations include:
- Some older PDF documents linked from articles may not be fully tagged for screen readers.
- Third-party embedded content (such as maps or social media widgets) may not fully meet WCAG 2.2 standards.
- Certain complex data visualisations or interactive graphics may lack a full text alternative.
We are working to replace or supplement these elements. If you encounter an issue, please let us know using the contact details below.
