This accessibility statement applies to the https://lukkari.evlut.fi instruction website and the Lukkari publishing system administered by the Church Council of Finland, whose technical accessibility has been centrally assessed. The parishes of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland use this shared Lukkari publishing system as their website platform. The individual accessibility statements of the parish websites describe the accessibility status of the content on each parish website.

This accessibility statement was updated on 11 May 2026.

The Lukkari publishing system administered by the Church Council of Finland, as well as the Lukkari instruction website, aims to ensure equal digital accessibility for all users. We continuously improve the user experience and comply with the Act on the Provision of Digital Services (306/2019). Any identified shortcomings will be corrected as soon as possible.

The Church Council of Finland has carried out a self-assessment of this service’s accessibility. The accessibility of the service will also be evaluated by an external expert organization in autumn 2026.

The instruction website and the web publishing platform partially meet the accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.1, levels A and AA).

Users may still encounter some accessibility issues on the website. Below is a list of known issues. If you notice an issue that is not listed, please let us know.
