Accessibility statement of the 112.fi website
Accessibility means that as many different people as possible can use online services as easily as possible. Our aim for the accessibility of the 112.fi website is level AA of the WCAG 2.1 standard.
The uutispalvelu.112.fi and ekstranet.112.fi services are subsites of the website. This statement also applies to services that require logging in. The languages of the uutispalvelu.112.fi service are Finnish and Swedish, while the extranet.112.fi service is produced in Finnish.
You can read more about the Accessibility Directive and accessibility on the saavutettavuusvaatimukset.fi website maintained by the Regional State Administrative Agency.
Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement applies to 112.fi and was prepared on 29 September 2020 and last updated on 28 June 2021. The service is subject to the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which stipulates that the websites of government agencies must be accessible to individuals with various disabilities or impairments.
We have evaluated the accessibility of the service ourselves.
Accessibility status of the digital service
The 112.fi website for the most part meets the accessibility requirements. If you need help reading the material, you can contact the communications team of the Emergency Response Centre Agency at [email protected]
Non-accessible content
The Emergency Response Centre Agency uses the following social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. We aim to publish social media updates in an accessible way, excluding user stories and short microfilms filmed live.
Disproportionate burden
Some of the linked materials do not meet level AA accessibility (e.g. posters, some PDFs, linked YouTube videos). The material was made prior to the publication of the website or entry into force of the WCAG standard.
Not all functionalities are yet accessible on the state’s joint publishing platform (e.g. WAI-ARIA labels and ALT texts are missing, as well as hint fields for dynamic forms). The Emergency Response Centre Agency cannot correct these code-related accessibility issues by itself.
Deficiencies in PDFs published before 2021: e.g. bookmarks, headings and the reading orders of charts and tables do not fully comply with level AA.
The text equivalents for videos are published in Finnish.
Other considerations under correction
Element IDs are being updated, headings, dynamic forms and the reading order are being corrected.

Commitment to improving the accessibility of digital services
We are committed to improving accessibility.
The 112.fi website is still under construction and some of the materials and functionalities are still incomplete (e.g. in language versions). The site will be subject to an external accessibility evaluation in July 2021, at which time the content of the website will be at basic level. This accessibility statement will be updated to reflect the external audit in August 2021.
The website server is maintained by Valtori and the website has been implemented on the state’s joint publishing platform. The accessibility of the platform is constantly being improved in development work.
Following the accessibility evaluation, the Emergency Response Centre Agency will aim to correct all accessibility findings during 2021.
