Accessibility in the RDKB

The RDKB is developing an Accessibility Plan. The plan will identify accessibility and inclusivity barriers people experience when using RDKB buildings or public spaces, accessing services and programs, receiving communication and information, and applying for employment.

A successful plan needs input from community members. Please take a few minutes to complete the following survey. The information gathered will play an important role in developing the Accessibility Plan.

Answers are anonymous.

Have you experienced attitudinal barriers at the RDKB? If so, please explain.

Attitudinal barriers are often based on stereotypes or assumptions that limit opportunities or offend the dignity of people. An example would be speaking to a support person who is accompanying a person with a disability, instead of communicating with the person directly.

Have you experienced systemic barriers at the RDKB? If so, please explain.

Systemic barriers are usually created by policies and procedures. Often, a policy is applied to everyone equally but has a negative impact on marginalized individuals or groups of persons. An example would be a policy which requires all applicants to complete a form in a specific time period, which may have a negative impact on some persons with learning disabilities.

Have you experienced technological barriers at the RDKB? If so, please explain.
