ACCESSIBILITY

WHAT ACCESSIBILITY MEAN TO US

OVERVIEW

Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington is committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities are provided equal opportunities and standards of service in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) by eliminating barriers and improving accessibility for persons with disabilities in a manner that respects dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity.

We recognize the diverse needs of persons within the communities we serve and will respond by providing services and facilities that are accessible to everyone. This includes training, the use of assistive devices, permission to use service animals and the ability for those with disabilities to be accompanied by a support person. We will make every effort to provide notice in the event of a disruption in the facilities or services potentially used by people with disabilities.
