A/HRC/4/9/Add.2 page 24 (i) In working with children from disadvantaged backgrounds; (ii) On how to help non-minority children overcome their racial prejudice and resentment; (iii) On how to deal with hate speech in the classroom. Employment 97. In order to fashion appropriate policy initiatives, the Government must more proactively confront the important factor of racial discrimination that operates against Roma in the labour market. (a) The Government should robustly enforce and monitor the provisions of the Equal Treatment and Promotion of Equality Act which requires public organizations, including government offices, of more than 50 employees to establish and implement an equal opportunities plan and to recruit Roma workers. This legislation should be extended to all private and foreign owned organizations. (b) The equal opportunities plans should include specific goals and timetables for corrective measures and implementation should be proactively monitored and evaluated on an annual basis by the Equal Treatment Authority. Their implementation should be evaluated based on a results framework, that is, to what extent there has been a change in the profile of the workforce. Achieving an ethnically balanced workforce should be the responsibility of the employer. (c) The Equal Treatment Authority should use a “carrot and stick” approach to motivate employers to comply; using its authority to investigate and impose penalties where they find non-compliance and finding ways to offer technical and financial assistance where that would be an incentive. (d) Sophisticated employment training programmes that target disadvantaged communities are welcome and should be expanded by government and private employers. Training should be for skilled work as well as unskilled, and should be paired with job placement services that include placement for people with vocational or secondary school education. (e) The Government should put a particular focus on outreach to the more than 30 per cent of jobless Roma women for employment training and job placement. Housing 98.

This scheme should include wider community rehabilitation initiatives, including the provision of contracts to Roma businesses, and the training and employment of community members;
