Accessibility report on the customer service standard

Question Seven: Has your organization established and documented a process to receive and respond to feedback on how its goods or services are provided to people with disabilities, including actions that your organization will take when a complaint is received?

What does it look like for you to check yes to this question??

Your company or organization should have a mechanism in place that accepts feedback on the manner in which goods or services are provided to people with disabilities.
The feedback process allows people to provide feedback either in person, by telephone, in writing, by email, online, on disk or by another acceptable method.

The feedback process should specify the actions your staff must take when a complaint is received.

Some things that might support the claim are having a feedback mechanism available. The development of a written statement showing the means that feedback may be provided (e.g., in person, in writing, etc). A plan for addressing feedback received and reports of feedback and follow up action would benefit the company’s evidence.


Is there anything else that could be done to ensure that a company can check YES to this seventh question?
