Accessibility Statement

Norwegian public-facing digital services and applications used by organizations receiving public funding (such as Bufdir-funded organizations) are legally required to publish an accessibility statement under the Universal Design of ICT Regulation. All four customer organizations - NHF, Blindeforbundet, HLF, and Barnekreftforeningen - receive Bufdir funding and have users with disabilities. Publishing a compliant accessibility statement demonstrates legal conformance, reduces liability, and signals organizational commitment to inclusion. For Blindeforbundet in particular, whose users depend on screen readers, the ability to verify compliance expectations before using the app is operationally important. The statement also provides a feedback channel for users encountering barriers, enabling continuous accessibility improvement.

Implementation is structurally identical to the Privacy Policy screen: a scrollable static or remotely fetched document rendered in a Flutter Text widget with full WCAG 2.2 AA styling. The statement content must include the conformance level (AA), the standard referenced (WCAG 2.2), scope (the Meander mobile application), known exceptions with justification, and a contact mechanism for reporting issues. The contact mechanism can reuse the same endpoint as the Contact Us feature to avoid duplicating backend logic. The screen should be reachable without authentication. For MVP, a static bundled statement is acceptable; a future iteration could fetch a remotely updated version to avoid app releases for minor statement updates. Norwegian Bokmål is the primary language; English may be added later.
