THE BASIN COMMUNITY HOUSE DISABILITY ACTION PLAN 2009  THE BASIN COMMUNITY HOUSE INC DISABILITY ACTION PLAN The Basin Community House is a not for profit organisation situated in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. It was established in the 1987 as a place which offered alternative learning opportunities to adults and children alike. Since those early days The Basin Community House has grown both physically and its range of programs offered. The Basin Community House now offers a wide range of courses which range from Nationally accredited vocational education courses to hobby and special interest classes. We also offer a range of services to cater for all ages, abilities and needs. The main aim of the disability Action plan (2009) is to increase the participation and outcomes in adult education for people with a disability. The plan has been prepared after consultation with staff, volunteers and tutors in the organisation as well as support agencies. The plan responds to the requirements of the DDA (1992) and the AQTF. The Basin Community House recognises that improving access and outcomes for people with a disability is related to more than just the physical environment. Our values and ethical principles provide the foundation for our action on improving access, participation and outcomes. The strategies in this plan link our services to people with a disability with our quality management system. They will ensure that resources are allocated to address the key issues and that innovation practices will be implemented for delivery of courses. The Basin Community House Access, Equity and Cultural Diversity Policy aims to provide accessible, equitable and equal opportunity programs, training and services to the community to enhance life and work opportunities for our community. At The Basin Community House we aim to treat people as we would like them to treat us. The Access, Equity and Cultural Diversity Policy aims are: To maximise potential and success for every participant To maintain integration focus of classes by ensuring enrolments reflect community profile To ensure that our main target groups needs are dealt with in a sensitive manner To create the opportunity for individual participants to achieve their goals We are committed to upholding these ethical standards. Responsible person Coordinator Other Staff All staff and students Frequency Continuously Relevant recourses Equal opportunity act Code of Ethics Learning differently Community and Mental Health Alliance Resources and PD The Basin Community House acknowledges its legal obligations under State and Federal Equal Opportunity legislation, the Technical and Further Education Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act, to ensure that our working and training practices are fair and equitable and our environment is inclusive and non- discriminatory. Access The Basin Community Houses programs and services will be available to everyone who choses to access them and will be free of any form of discrimination irrespective of a persons country of birth, language, culture, race or religion. In the case of entry to accredited training the specified entry requirements may limit some peoples access. Equity The Basin Community Houses programs and services will be developed and delivered on the basis of fair treatment of all clients. Communication The Basin Community Houses staff and volunteers should used strategies to inform clients of full range of services and programs that they may access at the House. Staff should also regularly consult with clients about the adequacy, delivery and relevance of programs and services. Responsiveness - The Basin Community Houses staff and volunteers should be sensitive to the needs and requirements of clients from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and responsive as far as practicable to the particular circumstances of individuals. In response to this policy The Basin Community House prides itself on finding opportunities for continual improvement in our practices. Our staff and tutors have undertaken professional development for developing technological teaching aids to help learners with diverse learning needs as well training for working with people with disabilities. In practical terms we need to be realistic in our approach to addressing Equal opportunity, access and equity and anti discrimination issues, as the ability of our organization is limited by funding. Therefore we have established this Disability action plan as a means of continuing to improve our already professional and dedicated practice in delivering services that are both accessible and affordable to all of the community.
