Request conciliation procedure on disability equality


Do you have the impression that a public body of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen or Bremerhaven is violating the prohibition of discrimination or guarantees of accessibility?

The conciliation office is located at the State Disability Ombudsman of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and has the task of settling disputes between people with disabilities and public bodies out of court. It is open to all citizens with disabilities as well as the associations of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen entitled to file suit. In contrast to many court proceedings, legal assistance is not required for this.
The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is thus creating a contact point to eliminate discrimination and violations of the principles of accessibility. The aim of a conciliation procedure is to reach an amicable agreement between the civil person and the respective public body. If an arbitration fails, subsequent court proceedings are usually possible.

Requirements

You have a disability.

You have therefore been discriminated against by a public body of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen - for example by not sufficiently removing barriers.
