Accessibility handling: investigation, mitigation and improvements

[JonellaCulmer]

This is a working ticket: Updates can come from anyone on the team who may have insights into what will make this an effective discussion.

What we're after: This ticket was created as a result of a retrospective meeting the website team held in March (sprint 14.2). From that discussion, we summarized that accessibility work is worthwhile, legally-required, time-consuming and crucial to the use of our website for some of our users (some people all the time, some people some of the time, all people at any given time)

We need to schedule a discussion to talk about how we can:

• discuss our accessibility needs at the agency level
• improve accessibility throughout our web presence
• conduct regular checks
• accessibility training and/or certification
• identify gaps in our analysis and possible tools to address those gaps

Completion criteria:

• [ ] Discussion is held to address ongoing accessibility needs and plan for next steps
• [ ] Follow-up tickets are opened as necessary

We have already been making strides to make sure new PDF documents are accessible and that staff are trained in PDF accessibility. Let's see what else we may be able to do in PI 18.
