AODA

Durham Children’s Aid Society is committed to providing a barrier-free environment for our clients, employees, resource parents, volunteers, clients, job applicants, visitors, and other stakeholders who enter our premises and access our information. As an organization, we respect and uphold the requirements set forth under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005), Customer Service Standard, and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation for Information and Communications, Employment, Transportation, and once established, Standards for the Built Environment.

Approximately 1.8 million Ontarians live with a disability, and as the population grows older, this number is expected to increase. Our organization has made a commitment to accessibility for everyone who uses our services.

Our organization has an important responsibility for ensuring a safe, dignified, and welcoming environment for everyone. We are committed to ensuring our organization’s compliance with accessibility legislation by incorporating this legislation into policies, procedures, equipment requirements, training for employees, and best practices. We will review these policies and practices on a regular basis.
