Our objective is to establish procedures that welcome all members of the school and general community to our institution, including people with disabilities, to the extent which our facilities allow. We are committed to improving accessibility and will put the following policies into practice as required by the AODA.

Madresatul Banaat Almuslimaat is committed to training staff on Ontario’s accessibility laws and on accessibility aspects of the Human Rights Code that apply to persons with disabilities. Training will be provided in a way that best suits the duties of employees, volunteers and other staff members.

We are committed to providing services to students, parents/guardians, and the public that are free of barriers and biases. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that all policies, practices, and procedures are consistent with the principles of independence, dignity, integration, and equal opportunity.

We are committed to meeting the communication needs of people with disabilities. When requested, we will provide information and communications materials in accessible formats or with communication supports. This includes publicly available information about our goods, services and facilities, as well as publicly available emergency information.

We will notify the public and staff that, when requested, we will accommodate disabilities during recruitment and assessment processes and when people are hired. If needed, we will provide customized workplace emergency information to employees who have a disability. When using performance management, career development and redeployment processes, we will take into account the accessibility needs of employees with disabilities.

Every school year, our school transports students on field trips. We will provide integrated accessible school transportation, where possible, or alternative accessible transportation services for students with disabilities, consulting with parents/guardians of students with disabilities.

We will meet the Accessibility Standards for the Design of Public Spaces when building or making major modifications to public spaces such as parking facilities, outdoor pedestrian walkways, and outdoor play areas. There will also be access to accessible washrooms. Any of our policies that do not respect and promote the dignity and independence of people with disabilities will be modified or removed.
