Accessibility

Accessibility refers to the ability of IT systems, such as websites and mobile applications, in the forms and within the limits permitted by technological knowledge, to provide services and information in such a way that they are usable, without discrimination or limitation, even by those who, due to disability, require assistive technologies or special configurations (Article 2, paragraph a, Law 4/2004).

To this end, public administrations, pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 1 of Law No. 4/2004, must also pursue the objective of achieving and ensuring the full usability of the information published on their websites and web services.

The public administrations referred to in Article 1, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree No. 165 of March 30, 2001, publish their accessibility objectives annually on their websites, as required by Article 9, paragraph 7, of Decree Law No. 179/2012.

Since 2023, these objectives have been incorporated into the PIAO (Integrated Activity and Organization Plan), which is the single planning and management document that public administrations must adopt by January of each year.

In the PIAO 2026-2028, EDISU Piemonte has set itself the following objectives:

• consolidation of the digital accessibility of institutional portals according to the principle of accessibility by design, in accordance with WCAG and AGID guidelines;
• annual publication and updating of the accessibility statement;
• systematisation of document accessibility through flow mapping, the adoption of accessible standard models and the definition of internal operating guidelines (intervention 2026);
• strengthening the organisational culture of accessibility through staff training and the dissemination of uniform digital drafting criteria;
• continuation of the multi-year project to adapt structures for the progressive elimination of architectural barriers;
• promotion of inclusive usability of digital and administrative services for the entire student body.
