Guidelines for Creating Accessible Documents
Southern Health-Santé Sud is committed to working towards compliance with the Accessibility for Manitobans Act. One key component of this work is an evaluation of website content/documents to determine if they are compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 Level AA).
Going forward, creation of new content for our websites will need to conform to the Act and Standards. The Manitoba Accessibility Office is developing a training module, which will be incorporated into the LMS once it is available to us. Further communication will occur once designated staff groups can begin taking this required training. A policy is also being developed regarding the requirement to complete this training.
The Shared Health Accessibility Committee has developed a resource library that identifies the requirements for various documents in order to comply with the standard.
