It is my pleasure to invite you for the final conference on the project on the implementation of the Multi-sectorial Guidelines on Third-Party Violence. This meeting will follow up on the outcome of the three multi-sectorial regional seminars held in May (London), June (Rome) and September (Prague) 2011.
As you will be aware, European employers and trade union organizations in the commerce, private security, local and regional government, education and hospital sectors agreed on multi-sectorial guidelines to tackle the issue of third party violence and harassment at work (http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?langId=en&catId=89&newsId=896&furtherNews=yes).
These guidelines aim to prevent, reduce and mitigate violence by setting out specific practical measures, which can be taken at national, sector and/or workplace level. They follow on from the 2007 cross-industry social partner Framework Agreement on Harassment on Tackling Violence in the Workplace.
Please find attached an outline of the programme for this closing conference. A final agenda will be circulated in due course, when all speakers have been agreed.
The main topics to be discussed at the event are as follows:
- The views of the European Commission, European Parliament, European Agency for Occupational Safety and Health, and the sectorial social partner organizations on the issue of third party violence and the multi-sectorial guidelines;
- The main project results: presentation of the report by the project expert
- Examples of good practice and steps taken at national level to implement the multi-sectorial guidelines
Who can participate?
The conference will have a limited number of 100 participants, with an allocation of around 20 participants per participating sector (10 for the employer and 10 for the trade union side). The general rule for selection of participants will be on a first come first served basis, with a maximum of 1 representative per country.
EPSU has been allocated 20 participants, 10 for each sector. Priority will be given to representatives who have already participated in the workshops in London, Rome and Prague and EPSU will CONFIRM your participation at the latest the 23 September.
