Disability Access Initiative | Telefilm: Accessibility plan 2023-2025

Accessibility plan 2023-2025 – audio version

Over the next three years, the plan includes measures such as providing disability and accessibility training for staff, auditing office accessibility, and creating specific accommodations like a quiet workspace in the Montréal office. It also involves updating emergency evacuation plans, ensuring digital accessibility training for IT staff, and improving communication about self-identification procedures. Additionally, Telefilm will focus on making their public website more accessible by removing barriers, providing alternative document formats, and including captions and transcripts for videos.

The benefits of this Accessibility Plan include creating a more inclusive and supportive work environment for employees with disabilities, ensuring that Telefilm’s hiring and onboarding processes are equitable, and enhancing the accessibility of Telefilm’s digital and physical spaces. By addressing barriers in their recruitment processes, office infrastructure, and online presence, Telefilm aims to better represent and accommodate all communities within the Canadian screen-based industry, ultimately fostering greater equity and inclusion across their operations.
