English version

HANDIRECT is an independent bimonthly launched in 1997. It spreads some practical information for disabled people, their family and friend circle and for professionals as well.

This magazine is published in paper format, MP3, PDF and Web. Its content is mainly based on : - recurrent sections presenting the daily life of disabled people: Current affairs, Employment, Health, Law and Responsibilities, Social issues, Legal, Tourism and Leisure activities, Well-being, Elderly people, Culture… - a special report is developped according to the editorial schedule.

HANDIRECT is particularly aware of social, training and employment issues and thus publishes every year two special issues on these topics.

Since it has been launched it takes part as a partner along with the ADAPT to the “Semaine de l’Emploi des Personnes Handicapées” , which usually takes place the second week of November.

In 2009 HANDIRECT became partner of the APEC and Job In Live, enabling the magazine to have a wider circulation during several recruitment days.

2009 rhymes with the publication of a free job supplement, published and distributed with each HANDIRECT copy.

We have been publishing ADAPT’s newsletter in each issue for 4 years. ADAPT is the most influential association of continuous professional training for disabled people. The ADAPT manages several motor rehabilitation centres and hospitals.

Our magazine has a circulation of at least 10,000 copies allowing it to be distibuted all over France. The readers rate is estimated to be - according to surveys – more than 3,5 persons per magazine distributed. Each issue is read or leafed through on average by 30,000 to 50,000 persons.

The impression can reach 25 to 30,000 copies for some special events to which the magazine is linked. HANDIRECT has got a website www.handirect.fr, which targets to be an additional medium to the magazine.

It gives to netsurfers special reports as well as news, last-minute news and a schedule, which you won’t find in the magazine.

Its habitual reading exceeds 15,000 visitors per month and the average surfing time is 2,55 minutes per visit. Its readership: - Taken as a whole, 18% are associations, various organizations, administrations, business firms, medical and paramedical professionals. For the remaining part, 62% are men, 38% women.

- The main part of its disabled readers - aged between 16 and 60 years old- are mainly working persons.

Circulation: To our subscribers and HANDIRECT is the official medium present every year during trade fairs on disability and autonomy.

In 2009 we will attend Autonomic trade fairs in Toulouse, Rennes and Handica in Lyon. We have also established a partnership with regional trade fairs such as H2 A (Handicap Accessibilité et Autonomie) in Nice and the trade fair vivrechezmoi.com in Saint Etienne and Clermont-Ferrand.

The current magazine is distributed for free to visitors and exhibitors.

In 2009 HANDIRECT will be distributed during APEC and Job In Live recruitment days. They are our new partners. You can also find HANDIRECT in associations, disability professionals, day and information centres for dependent people.

The magazine is regularly sent to large hospitals, motor rehabilitation centres, specialized residential care homes…

You can find HANDIRECT in every “ Maison Départementale des Personnes Handicapées ” and at Cap Emploi.

On top of that you can benefit from the free job supplement of HANDIRECT. For each edition HANDIRECT now publishes a supplement on the employment of disabled people and company life, which now have to fulfil this obligation.

This supplement gives several information on recruitment, job support, training and management related to disabled people, their rights and obligations. It contains several pages on some jobs of a specific sector, core trainings if you want to be potentially recruited and the recruitment potential these jobs represent. The main players of this sector have their say. They share their experience melted with successes and difficulties. This supplement can be customized for some companies, groups or lines of business. This supplement is meant to become a communication and consciousness raising tool.
