How accessible is the website?

We strive to make this website as accessible as possible. However, we are aware of some accessibility issues that have not yet been resolved. These are listed under Known accessibility issues below.

This website is partially compliant with the Swedish Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services.

How we tested the website

Axess Lab carried out an independent accessibility review of regionstockholm.se and a selection of the Region’s subdomains during March and April 2025. A report was produced identifying accessibility issues, which we are currently working to address.

If you discover accessibility problems that are not described on this page, or if you believe we do not meet legal accessibility requirements, please let us know so that we can investigate and resolve the issue.

Regulatory supervision

The Swedish Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) is responsible for supervising compliance with the Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services.

You can submit a complaint to DIGG if you believe that our digital services do not meet accessibility requirements.

Known accessibility issues

This website is partially compliant with the Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services due to the issues described below.

Images and media

Some images lack alternative text or have inadequate alternative text, making their content difficult to access for users who are blind or have impaired vision.
Some videos do not provide captions, transcripts or audio description.

Navigation

Incorrect heading levels are sometimes used, which may make the page structure difficult to understand.

Forms

Some text fields are not configured correctly for browser autofill.
Some error messages, such as those displayed when invalid characters are entered, do not provide guidance on how to correct the error.

Other issues

The website does not currently support a dark colour theme.
Some content is presented in different languages without the language being correctly identified in the code, which may result in incorrect pronunciation by screen readers.
Third-party tools used to display charts and data visualisations have some accessibility limitations that we are working to address:In some cases, colour alone is used to convey information, which may be difficult for users with colour vision deficiencies.
Charts can be navigated using a keyboard, but this may require specific commands that are not clearly communicated.
Charts do not always work as intended with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
