a standard procedure to assess disabilities in relation to refugees and asylum seekers was needed
know-how exchange was encouraged between staff working with migrants and staff working with disabled people.

Recommandations for the future �
Include EU Workshop, 1 July 2021
Regional and local expertise exchange and engagment for enhanced social cohesion
the need for raising awareness on the topic and a help from a higher political European level Especially when right-far right coalitions are in power in national countries to balance the efforts of local authorities and local no-profit organisations
Simplify bureaucracy. Sometimes is difficult even for native, what for those coming for the first time in a totally new country?
Refugees and asylum seekers with disabilities must stay together with their family. Splitting family members causes more stress and insecurity to those family members that have disability.
Timiș County Council
through multi-level and multi-actor cooperation
towards better social cohesion outcomes
And a final say:
All assistance activities must be carried out with full respect for the fundamental rights of migrants
