Services for creating a disability-friendly working environment

What is support for creating a disability-friendly, barrier-reduced working environment?

Do you employ a person with a severe disability or equal status and need support in designing a disability-friendly working environment? We offer you individual advice from our Technical Advisory Service and the employees of the LVR Inclusion Office or the regional specialist office for people with disabilities in working life.

The aim is to develop a measure together with you, the severely disabled person and, if necessary, other company contact persons, in order to eliminate the disability-related restrictions in the workplace as far as possible. This can be funded by the LVR Inclusion Office or the Specialist Office for People with Disabilities in Working Life.

Where can I submit an application?

Would you like to make the workplace of a person with a severe disability accessible? You can apply to the LVR Inclusion Office for funding in accordance with § 26 SchwbAV.

The applications for funding required to initiate the procedure can be found here.
