The annual Defence Team Accessibility Online Consultation has launched, and the Defence Team Accessibility Office\u00a0(DTAO) wants to hear from you.<\/p>\n
By completing the anonymous online questionnaire, you will help us understand accessibility barriers, track progress, and determine what is needed to create a more inclusive Defence Team workplace.<\/p>\n
What you need to know<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how it works<\/p>\n
To support accessibility and reduce barriers to participation, two consultation questionnaires are available:<\/p>\n
a long-form questionnaire\u00a0(49 questions, taking approximately 45 minutes to complete); or
\na focused short-form questionnaire\u00a0(21 core questions and 34 optional questions, taking approximately 15\u00a0minutes to complete).<\/p>\n
Questions will cover topics such as:<\/p>\n
workplace barriers
\naccommodations
\naccessible communications and events
\nworkplace culture
\navailable accessibility resources<\/p>\n
Your responses will support the organization\u2019s performance measurement framework and help inform implementation of the 2025-2027 Defence Team Accessibility Plan and future progress reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n Confidentiality and disclosure<\/p>\n Your privacy and confidentiality are important. The questionnaire is anonymous, and only members of the Defence Team Accessibility Office responsible for the analysis will have access to submitted responses. Individual responses will not be linked to respondents, and results will be combined to highlight key themes.<\/p>\n You do not need to identify as a person with a disability to participate in the consultation. We encourage all Defence Team members to share their perspectives, as accessibility affects everyone.<\/p>\n
