- The Web Accessibility Directive (WAD) is part of the European Union’s work for digital inclusion. The WAD obligates that public sector bodies’ websites meet accessibility standards and provide an accessibility statement on the website informing about inaccessible content, and a feedback mechanism for reporting accessibility issues or requesting inaccessible content in an accessible format. The objective of this study was to evaluate how healthcare providers in Sweden have applied accessibility statements on their websites as regulated by law. A descriptive study using a mixed methods approach was conducted, by quantitative descriptive data analysis of the healthcare providers’ accessibility statements compliance to requirements and qualitative data analysis of the written information provided in the accessibility statement. All but one of the 37 evaluated healthcare providers published an accessibility statement. None of the healthcare providers fully met the requirements for accessibility statements, and no one complied with the intention of the law, i.e. to provide accessible health information and eHealth services. There was no or minor progress between the first and the latest published accessibility statement. The possibility to declare no or partial compliance with the law, or claim disproportionate burden, and the lack of enforcement procedures, risk producing symbolic actions e.g., publishing accessibility statements without intention to abide by the law. We suggest that the directives for accessibility statements should be advanced regarding comprehensiveness, understandability, and usefulness. It is suggested that the assessment protocol developed for this study may be used for future evaluations of accessibility statements.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Svenska är det språk som ska talas i domstol i Sverige. Sedan 2013 måste domstolar använda sig av auktoriserade tolkar om en eller flera av parterna i ett mål inte talar svenska. I dagsläget råder det brist på auktoriserade tolkar, det finns enligt uppgift bara drygt 200 rättstolkar i Sverige. Att inte använda en specialutbildad tolk innebär stora risker för rättssäkerheten; om tolken inte är insatt i ämnet eller har bristfälliga kunskaper i juridisk terminologi är risken stor att tolkningen blir fel. I denna artikel av fil. dr Gunilla Carstensen och professor Leif Dahlberg presenteras en intervjustudie med domare, advokater och rättstolkar om hur villkoren för tolkning ser ut, vilka valideringsmetoder som finns och hur tolkning i domstol kan förbättras.
