As part of the European Strategy on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ESRPDs 2021-2030) the European Commission will publish in 2024 a FCo-ramework for Social Services of Excellence for persons with disabilities. This framework is intended to improve service delivery for persons with disabilities and to enhance the attractiveness of jobs in this area.


Naturally, ENIL wishes to provide input to this Commission initiative. For us it will be an opportunity to talk about horizontal quality principles that is principles which are relevant across services, be it personal assistance, housing or healthcare.


To prepare our input we wish to listen to our members and experts. During our webinar, experts on the concepts of peer support, co-decision making/co-design, affordability and availability, intersectionality and disability assessments will present their analysis. Afterwards there will be time for questions to the speakers and discussion. Lastly, you will have a chance to voice your views on which aspects should be included in our Proposal.
