In the following, we will describe the accessibility deficiencies known to us at the moment.
Non-Accessible Content
Lacking Alternative Texts

- Accessibility requirements unmet: “1.1.1 Ei-tekstuaalinen sisältö” (eng. non-textual contents)
Images Presenting Text
- Event marketing images or other marketing images might occasionally have text that is not provided in accessible form. We are currently working on fixing this.
- Accessibility requirements unmet: “1.4.5 Tekstiä esittävät kuvat” (eng. images presenting text)
Social Media
- Cultural Centre Valve has Facebook and Instagram channels in active use. We aim to pay attention to the accessibility of our social media posts as well. However, we have multiple people creating content and for example alt-texts are lacking from some of the posts. We are currently working on fixing this.
- Please contact us if you need any further accessible information about our social media content!
