Subject: ESF+ Support Centre (Lot 1): Collecting promising practices on
independent living and inclusion in the community of persons with
disabilities
To whom it may concern,
The Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL) of
the European Commission is currently preparing a Guidance recommending to Member
States improvements on independent living and inclusion in the Community, a Flagship
of the Strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities 2021-2030.
In order to make this guidance as concrete and relevant as possible, DG EMPL sent a
questionnaire a few months ago to Member States’ public and managing authorities and
relevant civil society organisations to collect examples of specific measures or projects
illustrating promising practices in the areas of relevance for the guidance. As a next step,
DG EMPL has contracted the services of ICF under the ESF+ Support Centre (Lot 1)
Framework Contract to assist in the processing of the examples received and selection of
promising practice to include in the guidance. In order to effectively assess the practices,
ICF experts are contacting the practice owners or contact points to gather additional
information on the project or practice as needed.
In this regard, I would be very grateful if you could provide your assistance to ICF to
respond to their request for further information. Your support will help us ensure that the
promising practices included in the guidance offer the most complete and useful
representation of practical experiences with the transition to community-based care and
independent living.
The project manager for this contract, at the level of the contractor, is Ms Claire
Duchemin ([email protected]). You can also refer to the contractor for specific
questions on the assessment and selection of promising practices and your expected
contribution by addressing your question to the following centralised email address:

Dear Elen,
I trust this message finds you well. My name is Leona Finlay, and I am reaching out on behalf of the Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL) of the European Commission. Attached, you will find an accreditation letter detailing the scope of my mission.
Firstly, I would like to express our gratitude for your valuable contribution to the questionnaire that was sent out a few months ago and for agreeing to share your contact details. Your insights into Personalising mental health care services through a new locally organised person-centered special care service, Estonia have captured our attention and the project is considered a valuable illustration that may be included in the upcoming Guidance recommending to Member States improvements on independent living and inclusion in the Community, a Flagship of the Strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities 2021 2030.
Upon reviewing the responses, your practice is considered particularly relevant and promising within the context of the theme "Innovative elements in national strategies and action plans to operationalise the principles of independent living " in the Guidance. To ensure that we accurately capture and represent the essence of your practice, we have included below a series of questions that are aimed at providing a more comprehensive understanding of your approach. We also attach an initial draft description of your practice (see attached word document) that we aim to improve based on your insights.
- Are there any findings/data from the monitoring or evaluation reports that illustrate the new model’s effectiveness, particularly regarding the impact on targeted population groups and communities?
- Can you explain what additional supports service components refer to exactly (see paragraph 2 in the Summary of the attached draft description)?
- What are the 7 areas of life covered by the 26 service components (see para 2..)? And can you give a couple of examples of what you mean by service components, please?
- You reported in the questionnaire that the number of people supported by the model is 1955. Can you tell me please if this is the number of people who have been supported by the piloted model so far - from 2017 to 2024? Or, is this the total number of people who will be supported over the duration of the pilot project i.e. from 2017-2025?
We would like to receive your written answers by Friday 15 March 2024, please. After reviewing your answers, we may suggest organising a brief follow-up online interview with you, to validate our understanding of your practice and the focus we intend to place on your practice in the Guidance.
Furthermore, we would like to inform you that DG EMPL is planning online mutual learning workshops in the coming weeks as part of the preparation of the Guidance (you may receive information from DG EMPL shortly in this regard). Please let us if you would be interested in presenting your project during one of these online workshops, held in English.
Thank you once again for your contribution, and we look forward to hearing from you and gaining further insights into the success factors of your practice.
Best regards,
Leona Finlay

Personalising mental health care services through a new locally organised person-centered special care service, Estonia
The proposed new model is person-centered, providing assistance to a person with special mental health needs as one complete integrated service organised by the local government, where all necessary activities to support a person are guaranteed. This is in contrast to the current model which is services-centered and organised at state level. The new model allows for the maximum use of the community’s available resources to ensure easy and quick access to a comprehensive but flexible combination of services based on personal needs. It also aims to provide these supports to the person in need, and their caretakers or relatives, as close to home as possible, based on the principles of deinstitutionalisation. In the new model, each municipality identifies the service needs of its region and develops services and/or creates a favourable environment for service providers to ensure the availability of services.
The approach to deliver this new innovative person-centered service is based on consistent personal case management. It includes the creation of an action plan and the monitoring of its implementation. A case manager (an employee of the local government) is appointed to work with the person with disabilities to define their needs, prepare a comprehensive assistance package, and establish a personal budget. The new model has 26 service components covering seven areas of life and is formed from the activities that are now part of the special care and social rehabilitation services necessary to support a specific person i.e. the additional support service components.
The model is currently being piloted, and has been funded by the ESF since 2017 (funding for the pilot will end at the end of 2025). In total, the number of persons with disabilities supported by the project is 1 955. The intention then is to implement the model into national law and the state budget.

1. Introduction
The European Commission (hereafter ‘the Commission’) is committed to protect your personal data and to respect your privacy. The Commission collects and further processes personal data pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data (repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001). This privacy statement explains the reason for the processing of your personal data, the way we collect, handle and ensure protection of all personal data provided, how that information is used and what rights you have in relation to your personal data. It also specifies the contact details of the responsible Data Controller with whom you may exercise your rights, the Data Protection Officer and the European Data Protection Supervisor. This privacy statement concerns the collection and processing of information on promising practices to feed into the Guidance recommending to Member States improvements on independent living and inclusion in the Community, undertaken by the Commission, Directorate-General Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, EMPL.D.3 as presented below.
2. Why and how do we process your personal data?
Purpose of the processing operation: The Commission collects and uses your personal information within the framework of targeted consultation activities to obtain your views on a specific initiative, policy or intervention. You are being contacted by ICF S.A. since the EMPL.D.3 has concluded that your views are relevant and necessary to inform the preparation of the collection and processing of information on promising practices to feed into the Guidance recommending to Member States improvements on independent living and inclusion in the Community, concerned by the targeted consultation. EMPL.D. 3 collected and processes your contact details since you subscribed to, and thus gave your consent to, be part of a mailing list to be informed of / contacted in case of future consultations by the Commission, as part of a questionnaire on promising practice in independent living and inclusion in the Community.
More specifically, the processing operation concerns the following processing activities and purposes:
− to obtain the views of the respondents of a targeted consultation activity for the design, evaluation and revision of policies, initiatives and interventions. To design, evaluate and revise initiatives it is indispensable for the Commission to receive input and views from those who are considered to be concerned by the policy, initiative or intervention.
− to obtain the views of stakeholders to explore a subject for which very limited information is available. This exploratory targeted consultations activity (hereafter, 'targeted consultation') will provide further information to the Commission necessary to take basic conceptual decisions.
The personal data processed may be reused for the purpose of procedures before the EU Courts, national courts, the European Ombudsman or the European Court of Auditor. Your personal data will not be used for an automated decision-making including profiling.
3. On what legal ground(s) do we process your personal data
We process your personal data, because:
(a) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest;
(c) it is based on your consent, for one or more specified purposes: − to be contacted by the Commission for the present consultation
The Union law which is the basis for the processing based on Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 is the Treaty of the European Union, and more specifically its Articles 1 and 11, Article 298 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, read in conjunction with Recital 22 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725), as well as the Protocol 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.
4. Which personal data do we collect and further process?
In order to carry out this processing operation ICF. S.A. collects the following categories of personal data:
• name and surname, • profession, • country of residence, • e-mail address of the respondent, • personal data related to the physical, economic, cultural, or social identity of the respondent, insofar
as they are not falling under Article 10 of the Regulation, • personal data included in the response or contribution to the targeted consultation activity, including
(personal) opinions (if the targeted consultation at hand requires so), Furthermore, you may spontaneously provide other, non-requested personal data in the context of your reply to the targeted consultation.
5. How long do we keep your personal data?
The Data Controller only keeps your personal data for the time necessary to fulfil the purpose of collection or further processing, namely for a maximum of five years after the closure of the file to which the present targeted consultation belongs. A file is closed at the latest once there has been a final outcome in relation to the initiative to which the targeted consultation contributed. This administrative retention period of five years is based on the retention policy of European Commission documents and files (and the personal data contained in them), governed by the common Commission-level retention list for European Commission files SEC(2019)900. It is a regulatory document in the form of a retention schedule that establishes the retention periods for different types of European Commission files. That list has been notified to the European Data Protection Supervisor. The administrative retention period is the period during which the Commission departments are required to keep a file depending on its usefulness for administrative purposes and the relevant statutory and legal obligations. This period begins to run from the time when the file is closed. In accordance with the common Commission-level retention list, after the ‘administrative retention period’, files including (the outcome of) targeted consultations (and the personal data contained in them) can be transferred to the Historical Archives of the European Commission for historical purposes (for the processing operations concerning the Historical Archives, please see record of processing 'Management and long-term preservation of the European Commission's Archives’, registered under reference number DPR-EC-00837).
Upon expiry of its contract with the Commission on 19 June 2024, ICF S.A. shall, at the choice of the data controller, return to the controller, without any undue delay in a commonly agreed format, all personal data processed on behalf of the controller and the copies thereof or shall effectively delete all personal data unless Union or national law requires a longer storage of personal data.
6. How do we protect and safeguard your personal data?
All personal data in electronic format (e-mails, documents, databases, uploaded batches of data, etc.) are stored on the servers of the Commission or of its processors (ICF S. A.). All processing operations are carried out pursuant to Commission Decision (EU, Euratom) 2017/46 of 10 January 2017 on the security of communication and information systems in the Commission. In order to protect your personal data, the Commission has put in place a number of technical and organisational measures. Technical measures include appropriate actions to address online security, risk of data loss, alteration of data or unauthorised access, taking into consideration the risk presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data being processed. Organisational measures include restricting access to the personal data solely to authorised persons with a legitimate need to know for the purposes of this processing operation. The Commission’s processors (contractors) are bound by a specific contractual clause for any processing operations of your personal data on behalf of the Commission. The processors have to put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the level of security, required by the Commission.
7. Who has access to your personal data and to whom is it disclosed?
Access to your personal data is provided to the Commission staff responsible for carrying out this processing operation and to authorised staff according to the “need to know” principle, in particular to follow-up on the targeted consultation. Such staff abide by statutory, and when required, additional confidentiality agreements. Please note that pursuant to Article 3(13) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 public authorities (e.g. Court of Auditors, EU Court of Justice) which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing. The information we collect will not be given to any third party, except to the extent and for the purpose we may be required to do so by law.
8. What are your rights and how can you exercise them?

Insofar you have consented to the certain processing of your personal data to the Data Controller for the present processing operation, you can withdraw your consent at any time by notifying the Data Controller. The withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before you have withdrawn the consent. You can exercise your rights by contacting the Data Controller, or in case of conflict the Data Protection Officer. If necessary, you can also address the European Data Protection Supervisor. Their contact information is given under Heading 9 below.

EMPL.D. 3 collected and processes your contact details since you subscribed to, and thus gave your consent to, be part of a mailing list to be informed of / contacted in case of future consultations by the Commission, as part of a questionnaire on promising practice in independent living and inclusion in the Community.
More specifically, the processing operation concerns the following processing activities and purposes:
− to obtain the views of the respondents of a targeted consultation activity for the design, evaluation and revision of policies, initiatives and interventions. To design, evaluate and revise initiatives it is indispensable for the Commission to receive input and views from those who are considered to be concerned by the policy, initiative or intervention.
− to obtain the views of stakeholders to explore a subject for which very limited information is available. This exploratory targeted consultations activity (hereafter, 'targeted consultation') will provide further information to the Commission necessary to take basic conceptual decisions.
The personal data processed may be reused for the purpose of procedures before the EU Courts, national courts, the European Ombudsman or the European Court of Auditor. Your personal data will not be used for an automated decision-making including profiling.
3. On what legal ground(s) do we process your personal data
We process your personal data, because:
(a) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest;
(c) it is based on your consent, for one or more specified purposes: − to be contacted by the Commission for the present consultation
The Union law which is the basis for the processing based on Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 is the Treaty of the European Union, and more specifically its Articles 1 and 11, Article 298 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, read in conjunction with Recital 22 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725), as well as the Protocol 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.
4. Which personal data do we collect and further process?
In order to carry out this processing operation ICF. S.A. collects the following categories of personal data:
• name and surname, • profession, • country of residence, • e-mail address of the respondent, • personal data related to the physical, economic, cultural, or social identity of the respondent, insofar
as they are not falling under Article 10 of the Regulation, • personal data included in the response or contribution to the targeted consultation activity, including
(personal) opinions (if the targeted consultation at hand requires so), Furthermore, you may spontaneously provide other, non-requested personal data in the context of your reply to the targeted consultation.
5. How long do we keep your personal data?
The Data Controller only keeps your personal data for the time necessary to fulfil the purpose of collection or further processing, namely for a maximum of five years after the closure of the file to which the present targeted consultation belongs. A file is closed at the latest once there has been a final outcome in relation to the initiative to which the targeted consultation contributed. This administrative retention period of five years is based on the retention policy of European Commission documents and files (and the personal data contained in them), governed by the common Commission-level retention list for European Commission files SEC(2019)900. It is a regulatory document in the form of a retention schedule that establishes the retention periods for different types of European Commission files. That list has been notified to the European Data Protection Supervisor. The administrative retention period is the period during which the Commission departments are required to keep a file depending on its usefulness for administrative purposes and the relevant statutory and legal obligations. This period begins to run from the time when the file is closed. In accordance with the common Commission-level retention list, after the ‘administrative retention period’, files including (the outcome of) targeted consultations (and the personal data contained in them) can be transferred to the Historical Archives of the European Commission for historical purposes (for the processing operations concerning the Historical Archives, please see record of processing 'Management and long-term preservation of the European Commission's Archives’, registered under reference number DPR-EC-00837).
Upon expiry of its contract with the Commission on 19 June 2024, ICF S.A. shall, at the choice of the data controller, return to the controller, without any undue delay in a commonly agreed format, all personal data processed on behalf of the controller and the copies thereof or shall effectively delete all personal data unless Union or national law requires a longer storage of personal data.
