Why is this a problem?
Some documents, like drafts, reports, and agendas, are not made accessible. This can make them hard or impossible for some people to read and use. When this happens, people may not be able to review them, give feedback, or fully take part in the discussion.
Common problems include:
- PDFs and scanned files that screen readers can’t read
- Small text, poor contrast, or missing headings
- Images, charts, or tables without descriptions
- Images that contain text
- Complex or technical language
- Long documents with no plain-language summary
- Formats that cannot be edited or adapted
