Accessibility in Ladok for employees

Ladok for employees is run by the Ladok Consortium. We want as many people as possible to be able to use the Ladok for employees’s website. This page describes how the website complies with the law on accessibility to digital public services, any known accessibility issues, and how you can report shortcomings so that we can address them.

How accessible is the website?

We are aware that parts of the website are not fully accessible. For more information on not accessible content, see the section below.

Report accessibility issues with the website 

We are constantly striving to improve the accessibility of the website. If you discover problems that are not described on this page, or if you believe that we are not meeting the legal requirements, please notify us so that we can address the issue.

Enforcement procedure

The Agency for Digital Administration is responsible for supervision under the law on accessibility to digital public services. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your feedback, you can contact the Agency for Digital Administration and report it.

Technical information about the website’s accessibility

This website is only partially compliant with the law on accessibility to digital public services, due to the deficiencies described below.

Non-accessible content

In the development of Ladok for employees, we strive to meet all relevant requirements in WCAG and EN301549.

Lack of conformity with legal requirements 

We have not yet conducted a review of the entire Ladok for employees regarding accessibility. During the fall of 2023, we reviewed the most visited pages and continue to work on reviewing existing pages. Since the fall of 2023, we have also ensured that all new development takes accessibility into account.

The user should be able to extend the timeout for logout at least 10 times. We meet this requirement by displaying a warning before the user is logged out, and the user has the opportunity to extend the time. The warning appears after 25 minutes of inactivity, and the user has 5 minutes to act before automatic logout occurs. However, there is currently no general information in the interface about when automatic logout occurs.

Disproportionate burden

The Ladok Consortium invokes an exception for an unreasonable burden of adaptation according to §12 of the law on accessibility to digital public services for the following content.

As the content on the website often requires an overview of large amounts of information, we assess that responsiveness is difficult to achieve in these cases without simultaneously losing the overview. It would complicate the work for all users. The cost of a redesign with responsive design is considered to be significant, and a comprehensive assessment today indicates that the work is unreasonably burdensome.

As the data presented in tables is dynamic, labels may be longer than the width of the table column. To maintain readability in tables, we have chosen to shorten long texts and instead provide tooltips via title text that show the entire text. Our statistics show that less than 1% of interactions on the website occur with a touchscreen, which means that users can usually access tooltips. It would be possible to redesign the tables so that content more frequently flows into new rows instead of being shortened, but such an action is deemed to be so labor-intensive relative to the benefit that it is currently unreasonably burdensome.

There is content in other languages in text sections primarily in Swedish, for example. Such content, with the exception of loanwords, should be marked with the current language code so that it can be emphasized correctly by screen readers, hyphenated correctly, and so on. We assess that the conditions are lacking to ensure language coding at each such occurrence since the system is based on texts obtained dynamically from many different sources. It would require an unreasonably burdensome effort at a large number of educational institutions to go through and mark each such occurrence. Moreover, within a not too distant future, we believe that screen readers will automatically be able to detect language and adjust pronunciation accordingly.

How we tested the website

We test everything that is new or changed in Ladok for emplyees ourselves from an accessibility perspective, starting from the fall of 2023. We have also tested the most visited existing parts of the website from an accessibility perspective. We promptly correct accessibility deficiencies reported to us, regardless of where on the website the deficiency is.

Assessment of the website’s accessibility is ongoing.
