Barrier-free Beckum

Inclusion is taken seriously in Beckum.

For example, there is not only the function of a disability representative within the administration, but the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is also being actively promoted.

This is ensured by the inclusion plan for the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the city of Beckum and its update.

  • Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

    In order to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the city of Beckum has decided to create an inclusion plan. The working group Begegnung (Encounter) has dealt intensively with this topic.

    The inclusion plan of the city of Beckum was adopted by the council in September 2018. This plan aims to support and implement inclusion.

    The inclusion plan can be viewed in a non-accessible version under further information.

    In the meantime, there is the update of the Inclusion Plan for the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the City of Beckum 2023.

    This was adopted at the meeting of the Beckum City Council on 20 June 2023 and thus came into force.

    The update is now being translated into plain language. As soon as the version is published, it will also be available here.

  • Euro key

    In wheelchair accessible toilets, a matching cylinder for the Euro key is used in Germany and Europe.

    This means that these toilets can be used free of charge with a Eurokey. People with certain disabilities can buy the key. The Eurokey is distributed centrally by the Club Behinderter und ihrer Freunde/CBF-Darmstadt e.V.

    On their homepage you can find out about the requirements and purchase the key together with a directory of the appropriately equipped toilets.
