Implementation of UN CRPD Article 19 in the Czech Republic: Mapping the availability and nature of community-based services for people with intellectual disabilities

Original language description

Background: People with intellectual disabilities are less likely to be realising the right to live and participate in the community. Part of a wider project on improving quality and outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities, this study explores the availability and nature of community-living services in the Czech Republic. Method: Interviews were conducted with service providers of all registered social care services for people with disabilities in three Czech regions. Interviews mapped size, location, nature and target client groups. For services that met at least a basic definition of community-living, questions also explored user needs, staffing and type of support provided. Results: Preliminary findings indicate that: many services do not meet the definition of community-living; creative solutions are needed to support people with intellectual disabilities in the community; registration category is not a good indicator of service type; and few people with more severe intellectual disabilities are living in the community. Conclusions: Such a systematic mapping of services will permit more accurate monitoring of UN CRPD Article 19 and provide the basis for evaluation of the quality and outcomes of community-living services.This project has been financially supported by the Czech Research Foundation (project no. 20-08327Y).
