Accessibility

According to the law n°2005-102 of February 2005 for equal rights and equal opportunities, Participation and Citizenship of Disabled Persons, accessibility to public services for disabled people is a necessity. Article 47 specifies that public online communication services by Government departments, regional councils and public establishments which depend on them must be accessible to people with disabilities.

The ENSIACET website was therefore designed so as to respect the good accessibility practice defined by the French State in the Référentiel général d’accessibilité pour les administrations (RGAA) and the Charte Internet de l’Etat.
