Making Your Organisation's Information Accessible For All is an additional output of the ICT for Information Accessibility in Learning (ICT4IAL) project, aimed at organisations. This report can be used in conjunction with the Guidelines for Accessible Information. It builds on lessons learned during the trialling of the Guidelines in three partner organisations.
The Guidelines for Accessible Information were developed by the ICT for Information Accessibility in Learning (ICT4IAL) project, which was a multi-disciplinary network of European and international partners representing both learning and ICT communities.

More specifically, it presents the essential features of inclusive education systems that will be used to guide the development and direction of Agency activities in the medium to long term.
