====<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.
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:
* 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:'''
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 '''May 26, 2023''' so we can make arrangements in advance.
