Knowledge of labour relations regulating norms among socio-economic rights is of crucial importance for labour law professionals, especially for labour inspectors who on the daily basis are dealing with control of the compliance of established labour standards as well as on the other hand defining of incompliance with mandatory labour standards at the workplace.
On 19 June, the Council of Europe Project “Strengthening Protection of Social and Economic Rights in Georgia” hosted an awards ceremony for 12 Labour Inspectors and 5 representatives from Public Defender’s Office of Georgia who successfully (with 92% success rate) completed the online HELP course on Labour Rights as Human Rights in Georgia. At the handover ceremony, successful participants were awarded certificates by Stefan Sirbu, Deputy Head of the Council of Europe Office in Georgia, Nato Natenadze, First Deputy Chief Labour Inspector and Tamar Gvaramadze, First Deputy, Public Defender’s Office in Georgia.
This course is a unique opportunity for the representatives of the Labour Inspection Office to raise knowledge in international standards of labour law, as well as to have the opportunity to get acquainted with the Georgian adapted edition of the unified European module and acquire the practice in professional manner.
“It was really valuable for the representatives of the Public Defender’s Office in Georgia to go through this very interesting training course together with the labour inspectors, because they had the opportunity not only to get more information about the best European standards of human rights and to enrich their knowledge, but also to discuss the important issues with the labour inspectors and get to know each other’s opinions.” – mentioned Tamar Gvaramadze, First Deputy, Public Defender’s Office in Georgia.
The event was organised within the framework of the Council of Europe Project “Strengthening Protection of Social and Economic Rights in Georgia.” The Project is part of the Council of Europe Action Plan for Georgia 2020-2023.
