Making the OAG barrier-free
The Office of the Auditor General of B.C. is committed to accessibility in all aspects of our operations. This includes our physical workspace, office culture and community, the reports we publish, the information on our website, and how we communicate with people and groups in B.C.
Throughout the plan’s development, we carefully considered the principles of inclusion, adaptability, diversity, collaboration, self-determination, and universal design. We will continually monitor and evaluate our plan and its implementation and consider these principles through future updates.
Our office’s three-year accessibility plan will ensure accessible:
- digital spaces and tools, including our website and internal working environment;
- audit reports and information;
- staff awareness and training;
- physical workspaces;
- hiring processes; and
- public engagement and feedback mechanisms.
Accessibility at the OAG has evolved significantly from our early days in an aging building with numerous accessibility limitations to a modern office with better access and facilities.
We will continue to look for, address and prevent barriers to accessibility. We will constantly improve our feedback mechanisms and we will systematically address barriers in physical spaces, information technology and access to our work.
Our Accessibility Plan will be instrumental in ensuring that we maintain an inclusive culture and community in an environment that empowers everyone – our staff and the people we serve – to participate fully and equally in the OAG’s mandate.
