| This session will help participants understand the elements they must consider when developing an Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) accessibility procurement strategy.

| Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) and roadmaps play an important role in checking for accessibility when we purchase software, hardware and other kinds of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Suppliers typically provide ACRs as part of the procurement or exploration of the ICT solutions that are available in the marketplace. An ACR should provide the information you need to understand the accessibility of the ICT solution. Successful suppliers in a procurement create roadmaps to outline their plan to address known accessibility defects and how they will continue to remain conformant once they have largely fixed the known issues.

Audience: All GC employees

Audience: Open to all GC employees. However, this session especially benefits Technical Authorities who need to ensure the delivery of accessible solutions.

This session will provide guidance on how:

This session will:  

* to determine which elements of your purchase need to have ICT accessibility  

* explain what Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) and roadmaps are used for

* you want the supplier to confirm their accessibility conformance

* show participants how to read and analyze ACRs and roadmaps

* you can include accessibility language in your solicitation and resulting contract

* help participants determine an ICT solution’s level of accessibility conformance

* you will evaluate the ICT accessibility requirements the supplier is delivering

* determine how to validate a solution’s claimed level of conformance

 

* ensure participants understand what reasonable actions to take to help the Government of Canada reach its goal of being “the most accessible public service in the world”

During this session, you will also learn about SSC’s approach to developing our ICT accessibility procurement strategy. Participants may adapt this approach to suit their own department’s needs.

* outline SSC’s approach to understanding ACRs and roadmaps

* show you how to apply the information from this session in your own department
