Ensuring accessible and inclusive procurement
Facilitating access to education, employment, services, and infrastructure for all.
The members and partners of the COPHAN have pooled their expertise to bring you the content of this guide, which is a synthesis of the discussions on the needs of the population and on universal accessibility.
This guide is a reference document. While there is room for improvement, its contribution is unique and, most importantly, it stems from the milieu of persons with disabilities: NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US. It will help improve the life of persons with disabilities and of their family members, while guiding and informing the ministries, organizations, large companies and all persons concerned by the creation of an accessibility plan. This guide also aims at enhancing the public policies of the different levels of government.
The mission of the Confédération des organismes de personnes handicapées du Québec (COPHAN) is to make the Province of Québec inclusive, so as to ensure the full social participation of persons with functional limitations and of their family. Accordingly, the Confédération is strongly in favour of universal accessibility.
Taking into account the needs of all is essential for a Québec society that cares about the well-being and quality of life of its citizens. Using this guide will enable you to better meet the needs of a large part of the population.
The guide provides a structured approach to accessibility, helping organizations implement practical solutions across various sectors.
The guide is divided into 29 thematic fact sheets, each addressing a specific area of accessibility. These fact sheets provide practical advice for different sectors and services.
