Prettner presents the status report of the regional stage plan and speaks of a milestone for inclusive Carinthia - three letters LEP stand for a huge project for the benefit of disabled people - 450 additional jobs and living spaces - 122 million euros for equal opportunities in CarinthiaKlagenfurt LPD . LEP - three letters that are a milestone for people with disabilities. In fact behind LEP LandesEtappenPlan is the huge project that Carinthia - as the second federal state after Styria - committed to in November 2013 and that it has consistently implemented since then. In 2013 we unanimously committed ourselves to the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities at the state level. We have therefore set ourselves the goal of developing a comprehensive action plan in the following years - and implementing it successively. We succeeded in doing this impressively. With this years day of people with disabilities on December 3rd we will publish the status report of our major project said Beate Prettner Social Officer LHStv.in today Wednesday.The LEP is an important cornerstone for ensuring equal opportunities for people with disabilities - a quantum leap so to speak. A quantum leap that was preceded by around 120 working groups. Nine guidelines were drawn up in these working groups and these guidelines have already been brought to life with 84 specific measures In LEP phase I the projects were defined in LEP phases II and III these have been implemented consistently and step by step since 2017 Prettner makes it clear which extensive package is behind the three letters. Of the 84 measures developed 50 have already been implemented the remaining 34 are in ongoing implementation because they are part of an ongoing process.The nine guidelines are Comprehensive Accessibility Professional career Awareness Raising and Public Relations Education Health and Protection against Violence Equality Self-determined life Participation in social life Data and Statistics. As I said these nine guidelines were implemented with 84 individual measures. These range from expanding and increasing the number of assistant hours to new forms of employment and numerous housing projects with which we can ultimately provide 450 new places to those affected says the social officer. However she emphasizes that the LEP is not only supported by large projects but above all that it lives from many small measuresThe social officer is convinced With the Carinthian regional stage plan we will also achieve the important awareness and understanding in the public sector the economy the media and the education sector. we will not stop implementing more projects. Not only because the LEP is an ongoing process but also because the Carinthian state government cannot tick off something that will always be an important concern of its own. Namely to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities. The social officer expresses her thanks to the hundreds of people involved in the LEP The state stage plan would not be the state stage plan in this high-quality form if so many committed passionate employees had not worked on it. I would therefore like to express my sincere thanks to all those involved the numerous experts interest groups and the LEP project team headed by Sigrid Samm. With the Carinthian regional stage plan another giant step towards a more inclusive Carinthia has been achieved. In the coming year the expenditure for people with disabilities is estimated at around 122 million euros. The total social budget is EUR 261 million child and youth welfare EUR 83.92 million minimum income social assistance EUR 30.11 million housing allowance EUR 24.68 million.
