The aim of this guide and template is to help you review and update your accessibility plan.  \nYou may choose to update your accessibility plan by editing the original accessibility plan that acts as a baseline. Another option is to use the template provided here. Please see also How to Create an Accessibility Plan.  \nPlease remember to integrate your Accessible Customer Service Policy and future standard obligations into your plans, or as an appendix. For details and additional resources, [please visit ](please visit AccessibilityMB.ca/public-sector.html)[AccessibilityMB.ca/public-sector.html](please visit AccessibilityMB.ca/public-sector.html).  \nIf your organization has an accessibility coordinator and working group, involve these individuals and create a team approach to accessibility planning and awareness. Include individuals affected by accessibility barriers whenever possible.  \nWe encourage you to use the review and update of your accessibility plan as an opportunity to promote accessibility among staff, customers and stakeholders , including people with disabilities.  \nWe hope this guide and template help your organization celebrate achievements over the last two years and to plan an accessible way forward!  \nTip: Keep accessibility in mind when discussing corporate and strategic planning. Consider integrating the plan into quarterly or annual reporting periods, and/or board meetings.  \n5 Steps to Update Your Accessibility Plan  \n\n| Step 1. Use the current accessibility plan as a baseline report |\n| --- |\n| Begin by reading your previous accessibility plan.\u003Cbr>• Is the organizational overview still accurate or have there been changes?\u003Cbr>• Ensure the Statement of Commitment content and signing authority are still valid.\u003Cbr>Tip: Is it easy for someone outside of your organization to understand what you do? Avoid acronyms. Use plain language. |\n| Step 2. Review progress |\n\nReview progress on any policies, actions or measures your organization has taken to create accessibility.  \n• Two years ago, your organization identified a number of barriers. Have you removed any barriers? Are there new barriers, for instance with the introduction of new technology?  \n• Have there been changes to the policies included in your first accessibility plan? Have new policies been introduced? Would modifications to existing policies help enhance accessibility?  \n• Review the list of actions and expected outcomes in your first accessibility plan. Did the actions take place and achieve the expected outcomes? If not, why not? Could you modify the actions to improve results? Add to list of achievements actions that have been completed.  \n• Consult with your stakeholders about what barriers still exist to help consider future priorities. Include managers, staff, clients (including students) and other stakeholders, especially individuals affected by barriers.  \nTip: Consultation may include a request for feedback online, on paper or in person at meetings. You may wish to use a survey.  \n\n| Step 3 Set future priorities |\n| --- |\n| Use analysis and feedback gathered in Step 2 to help set future accessibility priorities for your organization.\u003Cbr>Consider also organizational priorities , human and financial resources. If hard choices must be made, prioritize your organization’s most important public functions and the barriers that have the greatest impact on the most people.\u003Cbr>The Manitoba Government continues to introduce new standards under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act.
