Thanks for the advice and good question! I would think most people would not wish to indicate they require an adjustment (that's what our HR department has told me in the past, at least), but I would also be interested in hearing people's opinions on this.

I'm in discussions with the country/business right now because they don't wish to archive the events either. They are hoping to just have it as a once-off and are pushing that live captioning isn't a viable option (cost-wise). I like your example of getting someone's name wrong, though! That should be a sensitive point and a perspective I will definitely try.
