Digital accessibility
The concept of digital accessibility
Disability is defined as any limitation of activity or restriction of participation in life in society suffered in his environment by a person due to a substantial, lasting or definitive alteration of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive functions. or psychic, a multiple disability or an incapacitating health problem (article L. 114 of the code of social action and families).
Digital accessibility consists of making online public communication services accessible to people with disabilities, i.e.:
- Perceptible: for example, facilitating the visual and auditory perception of the content by the user; provide text alternatives to any non-text content; create content that can be presented in different ways without loss of information or structure (for example with a simplified layout);
- Usable: for example, providing the user with orientation elements to navigate, find the content; make all features keyboard accessible; allow the user sufficient time to read and use the content; not to design content likely to cause epileptic seizures;
- Understandable: for example, making pages work in a predictable way; help the user to correct input errors.
- And robust: for example, maximizing compatibility with current and future uses, including assistive technologies

Organization of consideration
digital accessibility
Taking digital accessibility into account requires an adaptation of the internal organization of production and management of the websites and applications concerned, support for staff and support for people with disabilities when they report difficulties.
The elements below describe the important points on which Audensiel will rely to improve the digital accessibility of all of its websites and applications:
- The internal organization program to comply with the digital accessibility of websites and applications;
- Support for employees;
- The methods used to overcome the difficulties encountered by people with disabilities.
TRAINING AND AWARENESS PLAN
Throughout the period of application of this scheme, training and awareness-raising actions will be organized in order to enable personnel working on the sites and applications to develop, edit and put accessible content online. In addition, Audensiel has already trained 12% of its internal staff in digital accessibility.
USE OF EXTERNAL SKILLS
Whenever necessary, external stakeholders will be called upon to support Audensiel in taking accessibility into account. This covers, for example, awareness-raising and training actions, support actions and more particularly audit and certification actions for the websites and applications concerned.
USER TESTS
User tests may be organised, during the design, validation or development phase of a website or an application, the user panel formed will include as far as possible people with disabilities. In addition, the Disability Mission collects feedback from employees with disabilities internally, in order to improve the accessibility of their digital tools.
RECRUITMENT
Particular attention will be paid to the digital accessibility skills of staff working on digital services, when creating job descriptions and recruitment procedures.
