S.H.I.F.T.: The COFACE Disability guide for the inclusion of persons with disabilities and their families.


The S.H.I.F.T. guide aims to inspire different actors in society to take action to implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It does it by highlighting 15 tools and 45 actionsneeded in the areas of support, human rights, independence, families and society transition. You can read our guide in English and French, translations in other languages will be available in the following weeks.
