Access and Inclusion Policy Statement (P110710)
The Shire of Denmark is committed to ensuring that the community is an accessible and inclusive community for people with disabilities, their families and carers.
The Shire of Denmark interprets an accessible and inclusive community as one in which all Council functions, facilities and services (both in-house and contracted) are open, available and accessible to people with disabilities, providing them with the same opportunities, rights and responsibilities enjoyed by all other people in the community.
The Shire of Denmark recognises that people with disabilities are valued members of the community who make a variety of contributions to local social, economic and cultural life. The Shire believes that a community that recognises its diversity and supports the participation and inclusion of all of its members makes for a richer community life.
The Shire of Denmark believes that people with disabilities, their families and carers who live in country areas should be supported to remain in the community of their choice.
