A policy is not finished when it is approved. It is finished when people can use it.
Policies influence access, responsibilities, decisions and everyday experiences. But even a well-intentioned policy can create barriers when people cannot find it, understand it or determine what to do next.
Before calling a policy complete, check whether people can:
🌟Find the current version easily.
🌟Understand its purpose and key requirements.
🌟Access it in a usable format and appropriate language.
🌟Identify who is responsible for answering questions or taking action.
🌟Provide feedback when the policy creates an unintended barrier.
Plain language does not remove accountability or substance. It makes expectations, rights and processes clearer and more usable. This reflects Accessibility Standards Canada’s guidance that people should be able to find, understand and use information.
Davion T’pire Inc. supports organizations, boards and communities seeking practical, people-centred approaches to governance, accessibility and inclusion.
Choose one policy that affects many people. Can its intended audience find what they need, understand what they find and use that information?
