Council of Europe. Committee on the Rehabilitation and Integration of People with Disabilities's Books

On cover: Handicap & integration

Despite the progress made in the social rights field in Europe, many fundamental social rights are still not fully accessible to people with disabilities. This report examines key measures and identifies obstacles to full participation, particularly in the areas of education, vocational training and employment, the built environment and transport, information and communication, healthcare and social protection. It provides examples of good practice and makes cross-sectoral recommendations for integrated policy actions.

This report provides a comparative analysis of European legislation designed to counter discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of life, including education, mobility, accessibility, vocational guidance and training, healthcare, employment, sports, leisure and culture. This is the second edition of the report, prepared for the Second European Conference of Ministers responsible for Integration Policies for People with Disabilities, held in Malaga in 2003.

Worldwide diseases have changed to include more chronic conditions, while the majority of current health systems continue to provide treatment and acute care rather than continuity of care. Even more dramatic changes in the health needs of the world population are anticipated, with non-communicable diseases as the leading cause of disability.This publication, drawn up by a Council of Europe Committee of Experts, proposes appropriate means of prevention aimed at reducing disabilities caused by chronic disease. Recommendations made include: the setting up of individualised programmes of psycho-social rehabilitation aimed at the full development of the person, and the adoptions of measures to promote the full integration of people with disabilities into society.

Many Europeans with disabilities are unable to participate in important areas of society, simply because policies and the built environment are not designed to meet their requirements. Moreover, with the number of elderly people rapidly increasing, European societies will have to accommodate more and more disabled citizens in the future. This book invites member states to: - promote full participation in community life by ensuring access to all areas of society, including the built environment, transport, products and goods, information, public service, education, employment and health care; - implement Universal Design as a strategy to ensure equal and democratic rights in society for all individuals, regardless of age, abilities or cultural background, including persons with disabilities.
