Introduction -- Health -- Education -- Home life -- Relationships -- Conclusion : realising disabled children's participation rights |
| Summary |
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is the only UN treaty to date in which the people who are its target, that is, disabled people, were actively involved in its drafting and is the only one which requires the active participation of disabled people in its implementation. This does not, of course, automatically guarantee the direct participation of all disabled people. This is especially so for children with disabilities, whose status as legal minors may inhibit them from participating in decisions affecting their lives. This book focuses on the participation rights of the disabled child with regard to health, education, home life and relationships, highlighting ways in which these rights are safeguarded and promoted through out the EU, as well as exploring the factors that put these rights at risk. Finally, this groundbreaking text analyses whether disabled children's need for assistance in order to realise their participation rights results in fewer opportunities to participate or in an increase in support in order for them to be able to do so. -- Provided by publisher |
