MOVING FORWARD WITH DIGNITY

2.  Accessibility plans will be made for each location through this consultation. Common themes from these plans will be reviewed by the Health and Safety and Human Resource Departments for allocation of required resources, whether that be training, policy adjustments or physical changes.
3.  Customer feedback will also be reviewed by the Health and Safety and Human Resource Departments in the same manner as the plans.
4.  This Policy will be reviewed every 3 years, or earlier if changes are required as the result of public and private consultation.
