Zhou Changkui, secretary of the Leading Party Members Group, vice chairman, and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF), conducted a survey on the work of the disabled in East China's Jiangsu Province on Feb 19-21.
Zhou inspected social security, employment and entrepreneurship, nursing care, rehabilitation, assistive device adaptation, cultural and sports activities, grassroots organizations in Wuxi City. He also heard about the implementation of subsidy policies for the disabled, vocational skills training, assistance employment, rehabilitation services for children with disabilities, the construction of disabled people's associations at village and community levels, and assistance available for the disabled. Zhou communicated with people with disabilities.
Zhou emphasized that disabled persons' federations at all levels need to implement social security policies for the disabled and meet their basic livelihood needs.
Zhou said it is important to promote the implementation of the three-year action plan centered on helping disabled people find jobs, pledging to ramp up vocational training measures and establish better job services from 2022 to 2024.
More efforts should be made to improve the quality of public services, including rehabilitation, assistive devices, education, nursing care, and barrier-free services for the disabled, and to make full use of social forces to meet the diverse and individual needs of the disabled.
Grassroots disabled people's federations should learn about the needs of the disabled and offer timely service resources, providing care for and assistance to people with disabilities, he added.
During the survey, Zhou communicated with heads of Jiangsu Province and visited Nanjing Normal University of Special Education.
Heads of the Department of Education and Employment and the Employment Service Guidance Center of the CDPF and heads of the Jiangsu Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation participated in the survey.
