ACCESSIBILITY POLICY STATEMENT
The TRA is committed to being inclusive and accessible to Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN) People. DNN people are a diverse group with differing requirements, some of which aren’t always apparent. This policy statement relates to anyone who is DDN be they our Staff, Committee or Members.
Accessibility for our staff (including temporary, contract and freelance staff) will ensure that we attract and retain the most talented people to contribute to the creativity of the T&RA. For our DDN Memebers, accessibility can be central to receiving a quality service and therefore it is essential that all our services take this into account.
The T&RA Access Policy is about making our services accessible to Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN) People, removing barriers and facilitating inclusion. Accessibility can relate to buildings (such as the workplace or virtually); internal technology; digital services; provision and publication of information; and organisational practices – the way we do things in relation to Staff and Memebers. Accessibility will also be central to the way we contract with third parties or procure goods and services.
The T&RA will consider ways to make sure that Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN) People can use our services at a standard as close as possible to that usually offered to non-Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN) People.
This means:
· We will build in accessibility from the start when developing new products and services and make reasonable adjustments for Deaf, Disabled, and/or Neurodivergent (DDN) People to facilitate access.
· Address existing systems, technology and facilities that do not currently meet these accessibility standards in accordance with relevant guidelines for that area.
