Polamk.fi website accessibility statement

This accessibility statement relates to the polamk.fi online service, which is managed by the Police University College. This website was published on 17 December 2020. The service is subject to the Act on the Provision of Digital Services which requires that all public digital services must be accessible.

This accessibility statement was originally created on 16 December 2020, and it was last updated on 17 January 2025.

We have prepared our own assessment of the accessibility of the online service. We have used external tools and services to prepare the assessment.

Digital service accessibility status

The website conforms for the most part to the statutory WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements at level A and AA, and the website does not have any critical accessibility issues. The primary accessibility issues of the website are described below in this document.

Non-accessible contents

The following accessibility issues are present on the website:

• The online service contains non-accessible attachment files created and published before the entry into force of the Act on the Provision of Digital Services. In addition to this, the online service contains non-accessible attachment files published after the entry into force of the Act on the Provision of Digital Services that do not meet all accessibility requirements. Some of these attachment files will be updated to meet accessibility requirements upon the next update of the document’s content. Some are one-time publications originally created and published in a non-accessible format and will not be updated afterwards, based on the principle of disproportionality.

We strive to improve accessibility

We are committed to improving the accessibility of our digital services.

In 2020, the Police University College renovated its online services to ensure the technical accessibility of the service. At the same time, we revised our content for improved intelligibility and to better address the questions of our site users.

We will continue to develop and improve our content and the technical accessibility of our website. We employ technical measures to monitor the website’s integrity and its conformance to accessibility requirements.

We train and instruct our content providers to implement accessibility in practice.

We welcome feedback regarding the accessibility of our site. Instructions for sending accessibility feedback can be found on this page in the “Did you notice an accessibility issue in our online service?” section.
