Accessible Customer Service Plan

Stuart Ellis Pharmacy is committed to excellence in serving all customers including people with disabilities.

Assistive Devices

We will ensure that our staff are trained and familiar with the various assistive devices that may be used by customers with disabilities while accessing our goods and services.

Communication

We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability.

Service Animals

We welcome people with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public.

Support Persons

A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises. Fees will not be charged for support persons. If there is a situation where Stuart Ellis Pharmacy would require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person for health or safety reasons, then then before making a decision, Brown’s must consult with the person with a disability to understand their needs, consider health and safety reasons based on available evidence, determine if there is no other reasonable way to protect the health or safety of the person or others on the premises.

Notice of Temporary Disruption

In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to the services or facilities for customers with disabilities, Stuart Ellis Pharmacy will notify customers promptly. This clearly posted notice will include information about the reason for the disruption, its anticipated length of time, and a description of alternate facilities or services, if available. The notice will be placed at the front of the store by the cash register.

Training for Staff

Stuart Ellis Pharmacy will provide training to all employees, volunteers and others who deal with the public or other third parties on their behalf.

Training on the accessible customer service policy will be provided to staff within three months of hiring. Staff previously trained on the accessible customer service policy will be informed and trained on changes to our plan.

Training will include:

  • An overview of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 and the requirements of the customer service standard.
  • Stuart Ellis Pharmacy’s plan related to the customer service standard.
  • How to interact and communicate with people with various types of disabilities.
  • How to interact with people with disabilities who use an assistive device or require the assistance of a service animal or a support person.
  • What to do if a person with a disability is having difficulty in accessing Stuart Ellis Pharmacy’s goods and services.

Feedback Process

We will provide or arrange for accessible formats and communication supports, on request to make our feedback processes, such as the customer service experience feedback forms, accessible for our customers who have disabilities.
