Access Program Review

Bring clarity to your Access program and a clear path forward.

Access obligations go far beyond responding to individual requests. To build a program that lasts, you need the right structure, tools, and people and that can be tough to navigate on your own. That’s where the Access Program Review comes in.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to improve an existing program, you'll get a clear picture of what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next.

Sample training topics

Every Access Program Review is tailored to fit your team, your goals, and your current reality.

Here’s what’s typically included:
01

A full review of your Access policies, procedures, and templates

02

Assessment of workflows, timelines, and tracking tools

03

Interviews or consultations with key team members

04

Evaluation of staffing roles, skills, and responsibilities

05

Alignment check with legislation (e.g., FIPPA, MFIPPA, ATIP)

06

Identification of compliance risks and operational bottlenecks

At the end, you’ll receive a comprehensive report with prioritized, actionable recommendations focused on what will make the biggest difference, fastest.

When a review makes sense

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to improve your FOI program.

A review is especially helpful if:

• Your team has grown or changed leadership
• You’ve faced compliance concerns or missed deadlines
• You’re restructuring or hiring new Access staff
• You want to boost efficiency, consistency, or transparency
• You’re centralizing Access processes or building a program from scratch
• You’re preparing for an audit, review, or funding evaluation
