Create an accessibility statement

According to the Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services (2018:1937), if you have a website in the joint web solution for Lund University, you must provide an accessibility statement for your website. You also need to provide a form for reporting accessibility issues.

Ready-made form pages for these are available in Drupal linked to your website, and on this page we will go through how to customise the template before linking to it on your website.

Your Drupal website has a ready-made template for the accessibility statement and a ready-made form for users who want to report accessibility issues. You can find the accessibility statement by entering your website address and adding "/tillganglighetsredogorelse" at the end, or "/accessibilitystatement" if you have a website in English. It is created automatically when your website is created and cannot be used as is, as it is a template, but must first be filled in and adapted to your website before it can be linked to.

Any deficiencies in the technical platform are updated by the Web Department at the Communications Section, but as the website manager, you are responsible for ensuring that the rest of the form is completed. As the person responsible for the website, you are the only one who can monitor whether your website meets accessibility requirements from an editorial perspective. Examples of things you should know are:

  1. whether your images have (good) alt texts
  2. whether videos on the website are subtitled
  3. whether all documents available on the website comply with legal requirements for Word and PDF files, for example. 

By using the form template that is already linked to your website, you ensure that:

  1. Your accessibility report contains ongoing updates and information about technical deficiencies in Drupal, which the web department updates continuously.
  2. The accessibility statements and forms for reporting accessibility issues on the websites within the web solution are consistent and uniform, making them easier for users to understand and use.
  3. The accessibility statement and associated notification form meet the requirements for how an accessibility statement should look and what it should contain, as the web department monitors changes in requirements from regulatory authorities and updates functionality and design when necessary.
  4. Reports of accessibility issues are sent to the shared error reporting function and form the basis for development projects and measures to address accessibility problems.

Create an accessibility statement in Drupal

Log in to your website and then go to the administrator menu to 
Settings > Information on static pages > Accessibility statement or by typing your website address followed by "/tillganglighetsredogorelse" or "/accessibilitystatement" if your website is in English.

Go to the "Edit information" editing mode by clicking on the tab, if you are not already in it. You can use the tabs to switch between viewing mode and editing mode while you are editing your accessibility statement.

Fill in the fields as described below so that it is clear which website the report applies to and who is responsible for the website:

  1. Website: Enter the website address.
     
  2. Department/Division/Unit: Enter the name of the department responsible for the website.
     
  3. Under the heading Status, select the option that corresponds to the accessibility of your website. In order to claim that your website meets all accessibility requirements, you must have carried out systematic adaptation work and conducted accessibility tests on the website.
     
  4. Under the heading Technical status, provide a clearer explanation of the availability status you selected in step 4. If all the material is available, select the first option – but if not, select the option that best reflects the status of your website. 
     
  5. If you selected either of the last two options in step 5, you need to provide further clarification under the heading Inaccessible content. Here you can use free text to describe the deviations from the accessibility requirements that you have identified on the website, as well as the connection to the WCAG requirements in the form of a bullet point list. 
     
  6. Under the heading Test method, you need to describe the method you used to investigate the accessibility of the website. If you have used one or more tools to test accessibility, please specify which ones, but if you have only performed a systematic manual review on a smaller website, that may also be sufficient.
     
  7. In the date selector under the heading Test date, enter the date when the investigation and testing of the website's accessibility was carried out.
     
  8. Enter when your website was first launched or published in Drupal in the date picker under Published date. This part is different from the others (which are a must) and is therefore optional.
     
  9. Enter the date when your accessibility statement was last updated in the date picker under Statement updated and enter the name of the website manager in the Page manager field.
    Finish by saving your changes by clicking Save configuration.
