Accessibility Policy

Nicewood's goal is to provide digital services that everyone can use regardless of the situation. Accessibility improves the quality of digital services and promotes the opportunity for everyone to use public services.

We are committed to the EU accessibility directive and the law implementing it on the provision of digital services. This means that our site will meet levels A and AA of the requirements presented in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 criteria.

This accessibility statement is based on a joint assessment by Nicewood and an external expert.

During 2023, the following sites will largely meet the requirements required by law and the site will not have critical accessibility deficiencies.

https://www.nicewood.fi/

Above mentioned sites have non-accessible content that does not fall within the scope of legislation or that has not yet had time to change.

  • Office program files (e.g. doc, pdf, odt) that were published before September 23, 2018 and are not needed for transactions

To the extent that attachment files published before September 23, 2018 (instructions, etc.) are needed for transactions, we will make these key attachment files necessary for transactions accessible.
