70 Disclosures and Legal Compliance Disability Access and Inclusion Plan outcomes In 2009, we completed an extensive review of policies and procedures related to appropriate workplace behaviour. This included equal employment opportunity complaints procedure, grievance mechanism, eliminating harassment in the workplace and harassment grievance mechanisms. The result is a streamlined policy which clearly defines what is unacceptable and/or unlawful behaviour in the workplace, outlines employee and employer rights and responsibilities, and provides a process and options for the resolution of employee grievances. The policy was endorsed by our Executive Management Committee in April 2009. In conjunction with this policy review, we implemented an initiative to ensure our employees have an understanding of equal opportunity law, its application, legal implications and the impact of potentially unlawful behaviour of harassment and bullying. In this period, 439 of our employees have attended workshops which address the issues of discrimination, victimisation, harassment and bullying, culture and behaviour and individual and organisational roles and responsibilities. Of those who participated in these workshops, 238 did so as part of the Department’s Corporate Induction, which is compulsory for all new employees. Over the next 12 months, all existing employees will also participate in these workshops. Outcome 1: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to access the services of, and any events organised by the Department.. The Department regularly reviews its contracting processes to ensure they comply with the requirements of the Disability Services Act 1993. Contract Managers are directed to the Department’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) and the Disability Services Commission’s Guide to DAIPs for State Government Contract Managers (where the DAIP clause is applicable) to ensure they are fully aware of their responsibilities. Variations to contracts pre-dating DAIP requirements were also reviewed to determine if the DAIP clause is appropriate.
Outcome 2: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to access the building and facilities of a public authority. The Department continues to ensure that access standards (as stated in the Building Code of Australia and other design principles) are provided for in new buildings and in refurbishment of existing departmental offices with a public interface. The majority of metropolitan licensing centres now provide the following facilities suitable for people with disabilities: • automatic self-opening doors at the main entrance; • ground level entrance access or ramps to enter and exit the buildings; • accessible parking bays; • wheelchair accessible toilets; and • hydraulic desks for centres with high level customer service counters. The Cartographic section of the Coastal Infrastructure Business Unit (CIBU) has also commenced developing access and mobility maps for the Department’s buildings and facilities. Building ‘footprints’ have been developed on the Department’s systems. Remaining work requires the compilation of different access information to display on the maps. Disclosures and Legal Compliance Outcome 3: People with disabilities receive the same level of information from a public authority in a format that will enable them to access the information as readily as other people are able to access it. A review of the Department’s Publications and Advertising Policy and Corporate Style Guide was completed in April 2009. As a result of this review, departmental forms were updated to include information regarding accessibility, and publications are now available on request in alternative formats such as audio tape, computer disk, large print, Braille and other languages. The Department continued to update its eStyle Guide to assist staff in developing information for publication on the Department’s website. The eStyle Guide outlines the barriers to accessible information and provides guidance to ensure information published on the website is accessible. The Department raises awareness of the Corporate Style Guide and the eStyle Guide through ongoing education and newsflashes for staff The Access for All (www.dpi.wa.gov.au/access/1191.asp>) section of the Department’s website was updated regularly during the year. Publications on the website have also been centralised, based on single source information. This has been further enhanced by including accessibility information on each page that refers to publications: ‘This document is available in alternative formats such as audio tape, computer disk, large print, Braille and other languages.’ Details of the Telephone Typewriter (TTY) service and the National Relay Service are also available online where relevant. 71
