Replacement of institutions with community care has for decades been on the agenda in policies and practices for persons with intellectual disabilities. These policies saw a boost in many countries in the 1990s and are currently supported by international bodies such as the EU and the UN. It is (implicitly) included in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, for example in the general principle of “full and effective participation and inclusion in society” (article 3 c) and “the right to live independently and being included in the community” (article 19). The practical status of relocation from institutions do however vary across the globe, and the trend was earlier and stronger in the Nordic countries and the English-speaking “western world” than for example in continental Europe.

摘要

Replacement of institutions with community care has for decades been on the agenda in policies and practices for persons with intellectual disabilities. These policies saw a boost in many countries in the 1990s and are currently supported by international bodies such as the EU and the UN. It is (implicitly) included in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, for example in the general principle of “full and effective participation and inclusion in society” (article 3 c) and “the right to live independently and being included in the community” (article 19). The practical status of relocation from institutions do however vary across the globe, and the trend was earlier and stronger in the Nordic countries and the English-speaking “western world” than for example in continental Europe.
