Customer Service Accessibility Policy Statement
CUCC is committed to providing equal access to persons with disabilities with respect to the use and access to CUCC’s goods and services. Customer service policies will be developed that respect and promote the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. CUCC’s customers include the members of public or other third parties. This policy does not apply to services provided to or for employees.
Providing goods and services to persons with disabilities
Reasonable efforts will be made to carry out functions and responsibilities in the following areas:
Communication
CUCC will communicate with persons with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability. Communication options include email, mail, fax, or if required in person, if telephone communication is not suitable to their communication needs or is not available.
Assistive devices
When accessing our goods and services, persons can use their own personal assistive devices. In circumstances where access is not possible, CUCC will work with the individual to:
- Assess service options to meet the individual’s needs
- Identify alternate services, either temporary or permanent.
Documents
CUCC will provide accessible documentation (or access to the information contained within the document) in a format that takes into account the person’s disability. The format to be used will be mutually agreed upon.
Use of service animals and support persons
Persons with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal or support person shall be permitted to enter the premises and be accompanied by their service animal or support person. Staff, contractors, and others dealing with the public will be trained in how to interact with persons accompanied by a service animal or person.
Training for staff
Training will be provided to all employees and contractors on accessible customer service and how to interact with people with different disabilities.
Feedback process
The goal is to meet and surpass customer expectations while serving customers with disabilities. Comments on our services regarding how well those expectations are being met are welcome. Upon request, CUCC will provide or arrange for accessible document formats and communication supports to facilitate customer feedback.
Feedback will be reviewed to identify actions that can be taken to improve CUCC’s service. Where possible, we will address complaints within 10 business days. Feedback is available:
