FRA will present its project on the right to independent living of persons with disabilities at a meeting of the European Expert Group on the transition from institutional to community-based care on 25 February in Brussels.
FRA’s presentation will focus on its upcoming fieldwork looking at drivers and barriers to the deinstitutionalisation process, allowing the Agency to gather input from stakeholders representing people with care or support needs, as well as service providers, public authorities and intergovernmental organisations.
