The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has launched South Africa’s first Disability Toolkit for the private sector titled Promoting the Right to Work of People with Disabilities – a resource for the private sector.
The toolkit brings together a large body of information, guidelines, legislation and links to best practices and resources relating to disability. As a companion to the Toolkit, the SAHRC has also developed a “Monitoring Framework” to serve as an easy to use and self- implementable instrument for employers to evaluate their own progress.
Both the Toolkit and the Monitoring Framework aligns to South Africa’s disability related legislation and South Africa’s obligations to the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The SAHRC is calling on all private sector employers to work with them to test these tools and resources.
