Accessibility statement for ICT 4 Inclusion Challenge Website
This accessibility statement applies to all of ICT4 Inclusion Challenge Site.
This website is run by Atos. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 300% without the text overflowing off the screen
- navigate all of the website using just a keyboard for navigation and operational purposes
- navigate the website using speech recognition software
- listen to the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS and NVDA)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

- Multiple controls throughout the site are inaccessible via keyboard navigation.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

- When the application is resized to a minimum viewport as defined by the criterion text overlaps images making it difficult to read. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.10 Reflow. We plan to make our tooltips keyboard accessible by Q3 2022.
- Content within the application cannot be access via a keyboard – including the contents of modals, specific buttons as well as share article links. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 Keyboard. We plan to make all controls accessible via a keyboard by Q3 2022.
