A Policy Charter

The workshop agreed on a fifteen point charter of recommendations:

  • Move away from medical classifications of reduced capacity to labour to positive assessments of their skills, abilities and interests;
  • Combat all forms of disadvantage that typically go with disability;
  • Promote equal rights of all citizens, regardless of disability status;
  • Promote 'mainstreaming' in education, training and employment for as many disabled people as possible;
  • Consider quotas as partial short-term solutions to urgent problems, to be largely replaced by strategies based on vocational rehabilitation and workplace adjustments;
  • Use 'sheltered' employment activities as a supplement to open employment;
  • Tackle wage discrimination and employment security of the disabled as issues of civil rights;
  • Strengthen the job security of workers with disabilities, by promoting 'advancement' in employment;
  • Improve work security of disabled workers by proper safety and health measures;
  • Provide wage subsidies to increase income and labour market security of those with disabilities;
  • Provide income transfers that encourage free choice of economic activity by the disabled;
  • Make sure that public agencies Practise What they Preach, by implementing non-discriminatory practices in employment;
  • Provide training for specialists assisting the disabled in employ ment;
  • Strengthen mechanisms to involve disabled people in drawing up and implementing legal rules and policies promoting their employ ment and protecting incomes.
  • Information for guiding policymaking and for assisting the disabled in the labour market must be improved and more widely disseminated.
