Summary:The report shows that moving from institutions to family-type residential centres leads to a very clear improvement in the independence skills of children and young people. However, the number of children and young people who are independent outside of residential services is insufficient, and this is directly related to their integration into society. In order for the new system of care to meet the needs of children and young people, it is necessary to develop the accompanying services in the community such as inclusive education, provision of transport, support to find work. This would result in young people with disabilities spending part of their daily lives outside the residential service they live in and thus being integrated into community life.
Purpose:The report shows that current services are underfunded. In some cases there is a shortage of staff. Staff lack the necessary training and support and children and young people would benefit from additional support and alternative models of care.
