To mark yes to this questions means that your training policy is aligned with the company’s Accessible Year Plan as well as the Ontario Human Rights Code as it relates to disability and accessibility. These documents need to address that training requirements are consistent with the goals of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The training strategy includes details of what is covered in training and when it is provided. A record of the dates of training, how it was provided and how many people were trained is being kept.
Some sample evidence include that the individual training and policy speaks to training requirements that are consistent with the Integrated Accessibility Standard (section 7). The company has a written training plan that includes the type of training to be provided and timing of training and the plan aligned with the company’s Accessible Policy and Multi-Year Plan. There is a list of which staff must receive training and has assurance that this staffs were trained. The company also has to have a record of dates that training was provided, content covered and how many people were trained.
