saavutettavuusfi

Saavutettavuus.fi is a Finnish information platform dedicated to digital accessibility. It collects, organizes and presents information about how public sector digital services meet accessibility requirements and how users can engage with accessibility improvements. The platform supports transparency and accountability by hosting accessibility statements for websites and mobile applications operated by public authorities, and by offering guidance on how to evaluate compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA criteria and related standards.

Users can browse services to see their stated level of accessibility, known limitations, and planned remedial work. Citizens can also report accessibility problems through an online feedback channel, which authorities are expected to address and update in their statements. The platform provides practical resources, checklists, testing methods and example implementations to help public bodies, contractors and developers create accessible digital services.

Legal and policy framework: Saavutettavuus.fi operates under Finland’s digital services accessibility policy, which requires public sector bodies to ensure accessible online services and publish accessibility information. The platform thus functions as a central repository and reference point for both compliance and improvement work.

Impact and administration: By centralizing accessibility information and guidance, Saavutettavuus.fi supports inclusive digital public services and fosters continual improvement. It is maintained by a government-led collaboration involving relevant authorities and stakeholders from the public sector, ensuring up-to-date and authoritative content.
