Supporting the active and meaningful participation of disabled people
in Ireland?s first State Report to the UN on the State?s progress
in implementing the CRPD and in the development of a Shadow Report
PROJECT OBJECTIVE:
The Coalition of Disabled Persons Organisations in Ireland (DPO)
Coalition is developing their Shadow Report on the implementation of
the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in
Ireland. The Shadow Report will identify and highlight the barriers
and issues of concern that prevent disabled people in Ireland from
enjoying their human rights.
The objective of this project is to work with the membership of the
DPO Coalition and other disabled people to be full and active
participants in the development of the DPO Coalition Shadow Report.
Participants will also be invited and encouraged to participate in a
range of Focus Group Consultations around Ireland?s first State
Report to the UN on the State?s progress in implementing the CRPD.
The DPO Coalition is inviting tenders from candidates with proven
skills and experience in working with disabled people from an equality
and human rights perspective to empower disabled people to be active
participants in the DPO Coalition Shadow Report.
The successful candidate will outline a programme for engaging
disabled people from across the country, outlining what supports they
would develop for consultation and how they would plan to engage
disabled people in this process.
This process will compliment desk-based research undertaken
separately. The successful candidate will develop a process and
materials to ensure disabled people are informed to participate in a
range of consultation sessions. The successful candidate will lead
consultation sessions and write up the collated information from
consultation spaces to capture the views and lived experience of
disabled people in Ireland.
The successful candidate will work with the researcher and the DPO
coalition to ensure the consultation process reflects the extent to
which disabled people currently enjoy the fundamental human rights and
freedoms provided for in the CRPD: and to make recommendations for
government action to realise the rights and freedoms of disabled
people in the CRPD.
This Shadow Report will be submitted to the United Nations Committee
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in **Apply on the website**
