SharePoint Accessibility Meetings

Description

As a result of receiving many accessibility tickets relating to SharePoint, Microsoft plans to hold regular meetings to discuss SharePoint accessibility issues. These meetings are for the review of SharePoint accessibility issues, sharing experiences, updates, and workarounds. These sessions will benefit everyone working on overcoming the accessibility challenges in SharePoint.

Initially, the meetings will take place on a bi-monthly basis. If there is a high attendance / interest, the meeting frequency will change to monthly.

Below are the two meetings planned:

Sharepoint Accessibility issues Meeting strictly for the Government of Canada (GoC): We requested a separate meeting for the GoC. We want the GoC to have a safe space to share issues with Microsoft, exchange workarounds, troubleshoot, and for Microsoft to update us on what they are working on. This will provide a safer environment for GoC participants to share screens and demonstrate issues.

Global SharePoint Accessibility Issues Meeting: This meeting is open to everyone worldwide (individuals, schools, the private sector, foreign governments, etc.). Members of the GoC may attend as observers and ask questions. We recommend GoC members refrain from sharing details on what they are working on and avoid screen sharing of their issues or work.

Those interested in attending may reach us at dcc.accessibility-accessibilite.cnn@ssc-spc.gc.ca to share their contact information and to specify which meetings they wish to attend.

Procuring Accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

Description

When buying software, hardware and other kinds of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), if we don’t ask for accessibility, we won’t get it. What contract language and processes will help us reach the Government of Canada’s goal of being “the most accessible public service in the world”?

This session will give you an overview of the Accessible Canada Act, the Accessibility Strategy for the Public Service of Canada, roles and responsibilities of technical and contracting authorities, and how SSC is supporting the procurement of accessible ICT goods and services.

Through this session, you will also learn about SSC’s approach to accessible ICT procurement. Participants may adapt this approach to suit their own department’s needs.

Additional resources:

We encourage participants to retrieve the SSC Accessible ICT Procurement Guide from the OPSA procurement GCpedia page, as it provides additional details and important supplementary information.

If you have any questions or require accommodation for this session, please contact the AAACT Events team by 25 August, 2023 so we can make arrangements in advance.

Procuring Accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) – Practical information on understanding Accessibility Conformance Reports and Accessibility Roadmaps (V1.0)

Description

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.

This session will:

explain what Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) and roadmaps are used for
show participants how to read and analyze ACRs and roadmaps
help participants determine an ICT solution’s level of accessibility conformance
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”
outline SSC’s approach to understanding ACRs and roadmaps
show you how to apply the information from this session in your own department

Additional resources:

If you have any questions or require accommodation for this session, please contact the AAACT Events team by September 08, 2023 so we can make arrangements in advance.

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

Lending Library Service Pilot - Quick access to short-term accommodations, adaptive technology, services and tools for public service employees with disabilities or injuries

Description

The Lending Library pilot project is a fast-tracked accommodations process put in place to quickly provide hardware, software, resources and tools to public service employees. The Lending Library aims to address barriers that delay access to specialized services and workplace adjustments needed by:

Determinate employees with disabilities or injuries allowing them to focus on their job and training, gain valuable work experiences during their terms and deliver services to Canadians (determinate employees are employed on a temporary basis and include students, interns, casual and term employees).
Determinate and indeterminate employees who remain at work when they are experiencing the short-term or occasional effects of a disability or injury.

The service provides ongoing support by AAACT to employees and their managers. Participants will learn how AAACT’s processes, services and approach is changing the way employees with disabilities or injuries are accommodated, how to access the services and how managers can now access a new pool of talent.

Learning session: Understanding digital accessibility and disability inclusion

Description

We are all responsible for learning more about creating an accessible and inclusive workplace. Awareness begins with understanding the barriers our colleagues may face at work.

The objective of this learning session is to raise awareness about accessibility-related issues and to help participants to understand why digital content, websites, applications and other forms of Information and Communication Technology products and services must be accessible.

The Accessibility, Accommodation and Adaptive Computer Technology (AAACT) team will demonstrate the various impacts of accessible and inaccessible content and will explain:

the AAACT Program’s role in the Government of Canada (GC)
the difference between accessibility and inclusion
the impact of different barriers for some users and what are some solutions and tools that can address them
the disadvantages of leaving accessibility to the end of the planning phase; and how we can build it in from the start
current GC directives, laws and standards for accessible content
why we need to include accessibility requirements from the start

The AAACT team will answer participants’ questions at the end of the session.

Audience: All GC employees

+| <strong>Description</strong>
+|-
+| When buying software, hardware and other kinds of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), if we don’t ask for accessibility, we won’t get it. What contract language and processes will help us reach the Government of Canada’s goal of being “the most accessible public service in the world”?
+This session will give you an overview of the Accessible Canada Act, the Accessibility Strategy for the Public Service of Canada, roles and responsibilities of technical and contracting authorities, and how SSC is supporting the procurement of accessible ICT goods and services.
+Through this session, you will also learn about SSC’s approach to accessible ICT procurement. Participants may adapt this approach to suit their own department’s needs.
+'''Additional resources:'''
+We encourage participants to retrieve the SSC Accessible ICT Procurement Guide from the [https://www.gcpedia.gc.ca/wiki/Procurement/_Approvisionnement OPSA procurement GCpedia page], as it provides additional details and important supplementary information.
+If you have any questions or require accommodation for this session, please contact the AAACT Events team by '''25 August, 2023''' so we can make arrangements in advance.

+====<u>Procuring Accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) – Practical information on understanding Accessibility Conformance Reports and Accessibility Roadmaps (V1.0)</u>====
+{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible"
+| <strong>Description</strong>
+|-
+| 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.
+This session will:
+* explain what Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) and roadmaps are used for
+* show participants how to read and analyze ACRs and roadmaps
+* help participants determine an ICT solution’s level of accessibility conformance
+* 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”
+* outline SSC’s approach to understanding ACRs and roadmaps
+* show you how to apply the information from this session in your own department
+'''Additional resources:'''
+If you have any questions or require accommodation for this session, please contact the AAACT Events team by '''September 08, 2023''' so we can make arrangements in advance.

+====<u>Lending Library Service Pilot - Quick access to short-term accommodations, adaptive technology, services and tools for public service employees with disabilities or injuries</u>====
+{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible"
+| <strong>Description</strong>
+|-
+| The Lending Library pilot project is a fast-tracked accommodations process put in place to quickly provide hardware, software, resources and tools to public service employees. The Lending Library aims to address barriers that delay access to specialized services and workplace adjustments needed by:
+* Determinate employees with disabilities or injuries allowing them to focus on their job and training, gain valuable work experiences during their terms and deliver services to Canadians (determinate employees are employed on a temporary basis and include students, interns, casual and term employees).
+* Determinate and indeterminate employees who remain at work when they are experiencing the short-term or occasional effects of a disability or injury.
+The service provides ongoing support by AAACT to employees and their managers. Participants will learn how AAACT’s processes, services and approach is changing the way employees with disabilities or injuries are accommodated, how to access the services and how managers can now access a new pool of talent.

+| We are all responsible for learning more about creating an accessible and inclusive workplace. Awareness begins with understanding the barriers our colleagues may face at work.
+The objective of this learning session is to raise awareness about accessibility-related issues and to help participants to understand why digital content, websites, applications and other forms of Information and Communication Technology products and services must be accessible.
+The Accessibility, Accommodation and Adaptive Computer Technology (AAACT) team will demonstrate the various impacts of accessible and inaccessible content and will explain:
+*the AAACT Program’s role in the Government of Canada (GC)
+*the difference between accessibility and inclusion
+*the impact of different barriers for some users and what are some solutions and tools that can address them
+*the disadvantages of leaving accessibility to the end of the planning phase; and how we can build it in from the start
+*current GC directives, laws and standards for accessible content
+*why we need to include accessibility requirements from the start
+The AAACT team will answer participants’ questions at the end of the session.
