“…Still, this notion of "critical error" addresses what article 9 of the CRPD calls "obstacles and barriers to accessibility". A draft version of "scoring outcomes" 15 in WCAG 3, clearly states that any critical error, regardless of the compliance score, shall be qualified as a "very poor" result in terms of accessibility. The Digital Accessibility Mediator's mission is to identify such critical errors by hearing those with disabilities' voices and relaying their message to the professionals in charge of a web service.…”

“…It would need more diversity and inclusion managers within software companies to come up with solutions, such as Microsoft Accessibility. In addition, positive leadership is crucial to authentically communicate and enable inclusive mindsets within teams and organisations (Sauberer 2021). It is not sufficient to rationally understand that diversity is a key success factor for solving various complex problems (Syed 2019), we need to experience the power of diverse thinking to emotionally understand the difference that it makes in our own lives and in the lives of those we like and love.…”

Accessibility, the right to equal opportunities for all citizens, is defined in Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Furthermore, Article 21 of the same convention details how the accessibility of information and communications should be ensured in practice. As a result of the convention, international, European and national policies, standards and law have been established, creating a legal and binding framework for compliance. On this basis, this paper considers the goals of the IMPACT (Inclusive Method based on the Perception of Accessibility and Compliance Testing) project. This project aims to define the skills and competencies that Information and Communications Technology (ICT) accessibility educators and mediators should hold for compliance. The paper looks to discuss how to demystify accessibility compliance and, in doing so, how to foster inclusive mindsets through training practices and the European Certification and Qualification Association (ECQA) certification, while noting challenges for audiences and stakeholders. The experience of Koena, a French social enterprise specializing in Digital Accessibility, forms the basis for the paper's observations.
