"<< Background >>According to the ILO ""COVID-19 and the World of Work: Ensuring the inclusion of persons with disabilities at all stages of the response"" PWDs, 15% of the world’s population, face marginalization in social, economic and health terms, as well as limitations by public services to reach them. This marginalization increases the threat to lives and livelihoods that the COVID-19 crisis poses. In response to the crisis, an approach that is inclusive of persons with disabilities is essential to mitigate the negative effects of the crisis and ensure a sustainable recovery. In Member States of the WHO European Region, 6 to 10 out of every 100 people live with a disability. In total, an estimated 135 million people.Persons with disabilities who faced exclusion in employment before this crisis, are now more likely to lose their job and will experience greater difficulties in returning to work. According to the UN report ""Policy Brief: A Disability-Inclusive Response to COVID-19"", the global crisis of COVID-19 is deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing the extent of exclusion and highlighting that work on disability inclusion is imperative. People with disabilities—one billion people— are more likely to live in poverty, experience higher rates of violence, neglect and abuse, and are among the most marginalized in any crisis-affected community. COVID-19 has further compounded this situation, disproportionately impacting persons with disabilities. PWDs need a range of specialized interventions to access skills development and work, including assistive devices and access to employment services.Identified Needs of the participating organizations and of the identified target groups:- Identify smart, clear and effective measures to guarantee safety inclusion of PWDs at work - Upskill/re-skill the competences of their staff and professionals that work for labour inclusion of PWDs to the new scenario in terms of safety at work put in place by Covid- Create a networks and synergies to promote effective safety measures for PWDs at work.- Upskill/re-skill professionals involved in training design and delivery on how to train learners with disabilities on safety at work, also taking into account the new safety measures to prevent Covid- Define proper accessible and inclusive training for PWDs to make them able to work in safe conditions- Build synergies among initiatives carried out by organizations of PWDs, of certification and quality and representatives of labour market to create a safe working environment to improve social and labour inclusion of PWDs.The proposal aims at contributing to create the suitable environment to improve the safety conditions at work for PWDsIn this context, Safe4All aims at contributing to:- promote a decent quality of life and to live independently as it focuses notably on inclusion, social protection and non-discrimination at work- enhance equal participation as it aims to effectively protect persons with disabilities from any form of discrimination and violence, to ensure equal opportunities in and access to justice, education, culture, sport and tourism, and to all health services. The General Objective, (GO), of Safe4All is to contribute to create the suitable and safe environment for labour inclusion of people with disabilities, PWDs.Specific Objectives, (SO):- SO1 to enhance knowledge, competences and skills of educators/trainers that work with PWDs supporting their social and labour inclusion - SO2 to enhance awareness on SMEs regarding safety&healt of PWDs at work- SO3 to promote knowledge, competences and skills of PWDs to work in safe conditions- SO4 to foster networking and collaboration among different actors for the improving of training and support practices of workers with disabilities in work<< Objectives >>IMPACT ON DIFFERENT KIND OF PARTICIPANTS IN SAFE4ALL PROJECT:- Participating staff members of partners, will have improved competences on the project issues, on good practices in other countries, competences of collaboration and implementation in the context of the EU level projects, strengthening their professional skills and performances- Participants of the Inclusive training Pilots for workers will have developed competences to deal with risks and safety at workplace, to behave respecting the safety for all, but also higher level of functioning according to the real learning potential- Participants of the Training for trainers pilots, will have improved their professional competences – that brings to better performances, more Inclusive trainings, more workers with disabilities receiving support- Participants to Multiplier events will have raised their knowledge on project issues, allowing them to design, deliver new training activities in the field of safety at work and to raise the quality of their performance as trainers, project designers,etc- Participants/users/visitors of the Open Learning Space will have developed their knowledge on the project theme and will have support tools for their practices, improving their professional performances and/or their employabilityIMPACT ON PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS:a) Strengthened their competence in EU project implementation and collaboration with international partnership, thus able to elaborate new initiatives at transnational level b) Sustained the development of their staff competences on the project issues and will have new training tools and concepts, applicate in new or improved training activities, increasing number and quality of safety at work training practicesc) Strengthened collaboration with local stakeholders in the project theme as a good basis for further development, innovations and new initiatives in all project countries.- Organizations involved in the Pilot training will have new experiences and improved competences of their staff; being able to develop their own internal tools for the management of safety and the related trainings, improving the level of safety for all workersIMPACT FOR THE TARGET GROUPS- VET organizations in the project countries dealing with issues on S&H in workplaces improved skills on S&H, by received info from spreading activities about the project results and will have learning resources available on the Online learning space. – development of their staff competence, new training activities for employers who employ persons with disabilities, thus raising the safety at work in SMEs- Public authorities involved in safety at work with policy recommendations or by been involved in the Local working groups - developed knowledge on good practices, raised awareness on importance of appropriate inclusive trainings for workers with disabilities.
