OHRC E-Learning module
Aleem Rudolph
The OHRC e-learning module teaches the observer what accommodating
means, also why accommodation is crucial, when you watch the module you recognize
the rights and responsibilities for accommodating. The module clarifies undue hardship,
and how accommodation is a shared responsibility for all of us.
Through the module, I learned about the Ontario Human Rights Code and
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in part 1. The code is talked about more
in part 2 where the narrator explains that it is protecting rights while giving equal
opportunity and freedom from discrimination. The code pertains to jobs, residence, and
services. Part 3 is labelled as understanding the duty of accommodating, and it taught
me that accommodating the personal needs of people with disabilities is a legal duty
under the Code. This allows people to benefit equally and take part fully in the
workplace, housing, and other services (Ontario human rights commission part 3, July
2016). Applying human rights principles in part 4 explains that the code and the AODA
work together in organizations to follow the human rights principles (Ontario human
rights commission part 4, July 2016). Finally, in the last part of the module, I understood
how the code and its fellow acts are enforced. Ontario has three branches in human
rights, the first is the
Ontario Human Rights Commission secondly, the Human Rights
Tribunal of Ontario and the Human Rights Legal Support Centre all three of these
organizations review complaints made by people who experience discrimination.
After completing the module and quiz and eventually getting my certificate of
completion, I thought about some questions to do with the code and accommodation.
Some of the best practices I could potentially incorporate in my professional work is
letting everyone who needs an accommodation get it as long as it fits in the undue
hardship while still including everyone else with dignity. Another question I had asked
myself is how could I and would I support somebody who needs to be accommodated,
first off it is a duty to accommodate and it is law so I would have to ask myself what type
of accommodation does the person need because there is no set formula and tend to it
whether it is offering different job opportunities or create different print material such as
braille (Ontario human rights commission part 3, July 2016). The final question I had to
answer after learning about this commission is why is the legislation important in
addressing the discrimination around us, I believe it is important because it protects
people from discrimination so people can feel safer. When you are under the act no
matter the race or sexuality, etc. The commission will be on your side to accommodate
you.
In conclusion, the module helped me understand the code and now I know the
reasons for accommodation, undue hardship is high expectations so most
people's needs will be met by organizations.
