3 PROCEDURES Ottawa Mould Craft will work with clients and employees to identify, prevent and remove barriers to participation to ensure compliance with the Accessibility Standards Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07. a) Customer Service Standard All goods and services at Ottawa Mould Craft will be provided in a manner that respects the dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity of people with disabilities: o o o Dignity: service is provided in a way that allows the person with a disability to maintain self-respect and the respect of other people. Independence: when a person with a disability is allowed to do things on their own, without unnecessary help or interference from others. Integration and Equal Opportunity: service is provided in a way that allows the person with a disability to benefit from the same services, in the same place, and in the same or similar way as other customers, unless an alternate measure is necessary to enable a person with disability to access goods or services. They should not have to make significantly more effort to access or obtain service. They should also not have to accept inconvenience or lesser quality. Sometimes this may mean that the company has to treat individuals slightly differently so that they can benefit fully from the services. b) Assistive Devices Ottawa Mould Craft is committed to serving people with disabilities, and ensuring that those who use assistive devices will benefit from enjoying a fulfilling experience. We will ensure that required employees are trained and familiar with various assistive devices that may be used by a person with a disability while accessing our goods and services. c) Communicating with a Person with a Disability Ottawa Mould Craft s policies and procedures take a person s disability into account when communicating with the individual. Two-way communications is a process of providing, sending, receiving and understanding information. To communicate in an effective way, Ottawa Mould Craft considers how the disability affects the way that the person expresses, receives or processes communications. Where possible, Ottawa Mould Craft will consult with the individual directly to determine the best way to communicate with him or her. d) Service Animals Ottawa Mould Craft is committed to welcoming persons with disabilities who are accompanied by a trained, accredited service animal. A service animal may accompany an individual or any third party with a disability to all parts of our premises that are open to the public. Service animals are animals that a person with a disability uses for support 3
4 Ottawa Mould Craft will ensure that all employees who deal with the public are aware of how to interact with people with disabilities, who are accompanied by a service animal. If the service animal is causing a disturbance for other clients or employees, the individual and accompanying service animal may be required to leave the area or premises. The owner is responsible to "stoop and scoop". e) Support Persons Ottawa Mould Craft is committed to welcoming people with disabilities who are accompanied by a support person. Any person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person is allowed to enter the premises with his or her support person. At no time will a person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person be prevented from having access to his or her support person while on the premises. Access will be in accordance with normal security procedures. In some cases a support person may have to agree to abide by rules or requirements that are specific to the kinds of goods and services being provided. For example, where confidentiality is important due to the nature of the information being discusses, the support person may be required to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to the disclosure of information. A copy of the signed consent will be retained by Ottawa Mould Craft. f) Temporary Disruption of Service In the event that Ottawa Mould Craft is aware of a temporary disruption of services, they will make the disruption known to customers through its communication networks.
