How to make information accessible

Camp Chikopi has informal performance and management reviews, when we hold a review we will consider the needs of an employee with disabilities when we:

• hold formal or informal performance reviews
• promote or move them to a new job

Examples include:

• making documents available in accessible formats (e.g., large print for people with low vision)
• providing feedback and coaching in a way that is accessible to them (e.g., allowing someone with a learning disability to record the conversation)
• providing the accommodations they need to successfully learn new skills or take on more responsibilities

Camp Chikopi is happy to communicate with our employees about our policies to support people with disabilities. We notify all new employees when they are hired, and tell all our employees if we change the policies.

To read this information we use:

• emails
• memos
• websites
• staff meetings
• one-on-one conversations
