Inclusion Europe wins tender for study on discrimination against people with high dependency or complex needs
[Last updated Tuesday, January 23, 2007]
Inclusion Europe was awarded a EU call for tender for a study on the specific risks of discrimination against persons in situation of major dependence or with complex needs.
The study aims to help better understand the obstacles faced by people with high dependency and to explore the ways to promote independent living. The objective is to point out specific areas where the risk is higher for people with severe disability to be discriminated against. The evaluation will take into account aspects of accessibility, availability, affordability and quality of services, as well as possibilities for reasonable accommodation. Special attention will be paid to possible discrimination that families face by reason of association with a disabled people having complex needs.
The study will compare the existing policy approaches and practices for disabled people with complex needs in twelve European countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom.
Given its pan-European approach, the comparative analysis will provide an overview of positive actions and good practices in ensuring independent living. The conclusions will launch a reflection on the ways to promote person centred services in the community as means of fighting discrimination against people with high dependency. The European Commission will finance the study with an amount of 293 000 euro.
