FRA opinions independent living
The following FRA opinions build on the findings of FRA’s fieldwork to examine the drivers of and barriers to the deinstitutionalisation process, as experienced by the actors responsible for designing and implementing it, and by the individuals and families going through the transition process. The opinions address the five essential features of successful deinstitutionalisation that FRA identified on the basis of the research findings. The FRA opinions primarily address policymakers in the EU institutions and the national administrations of EU Member States.
