Question 11189 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People, responsible for autonomy and disabled people, to the administrative inaction concerning cases of discrimination and in particular ableism, in the public service. Despite the existing legal framework, which prohibits any form of discrimination based on disability and guarantees equality of treatment between public officials, many situations still demonstrate discriminatory practices against people with disabilities, whether it be difficulties in adapting their jobs, obstacles to career development or daily stigmatization. Victim officers too often encounter a lack of response, or even real attempts at degradation on the part of their administration. Thus, the Member of Parliament was contacted by a permanent civil servant, victim of a breach of equal treatment and a clear obstacle to his career, due to his disability. Despite numerous warnings from him, his administration demands that he return to his initial position – the same one which caused his illness and led to his impairment – ​​as a precondition for any professional reconversion, in total contradiction with established medical recommendations. Furthermore, this same administration does not execute or liquidate the payment of the temporary disability allowance (ATI) due to it, in direct violation of its legal obligation of compensation. Such failures constitute serious attacks on the principles of equality and protection of public officials and directly contravene the law of February 11 2005 as well as the State's commitments in terms of disability and inclusion. Unfortunately, this particular case is not isolated. Validist discrimination remains too frequent in the civil service, whether it results from conscious behavior, a failure to adapt workstations or a lack of training for supervisors and line managers. Also, she wishes to know what measures the Government intends to implement to guarantee real effectiveness of the right to non-discrimination and to adapt the working conditions of agents with disabilities and to ensure that public administrations fully respect their legal obligations in terms of repair and inclusion.
