Seconds People with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities are more present in the community and their participation is more visible due to the process of deinstitutionalization and transformation of social welfare institutions and moving the people from institutions into the community. We have noticed that public service employees do not have specific knowledge and skills and are not prepared for their new fellow citizens in the community. In addition, the way they communicate with them is very often inappropriate.
Project goal: to raise an awareness of active and future policemen and police officers for increasing presence and participation of people with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities as equal citizens in the community in order to develop their communication skills in everyday interaction.
