About the Coalition
The OneVoice for Accessible ICT Coalition was formed to bring likeminded organisations together to act as one voice for ICT accessibility and usability.
The coalition's central goal is to develop a shared agenda for change in accessible and usable ICT in order for business and society to receive the maximum benefits from ICT.
To achieve this the coalition undertake pragmatic and action orientated activities and have identified three specific themes to collaborate and work on:
- Promotion - This theme will look to the benefits to the economy and society of provisioning accessible and usable information and communication technologies and update the rationale and business case to underpin this.
- Campaigns - Campaigns will increase the awareness of ICT accessibility across all sectors. In addition to awareness this theme also focuses on influencing and working with the ICT industry to make their ICT products and services accessible and usable.
- Professionalism - Professionalisation focuses on establishing a suite of academic and vocational courses in ICT accessibility for ICT and health professionals. These courses will provide a range of qualifications to a recognised standard for ICT accessibility.
