Evidence review on deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities

This report reviews global evidence on the deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities. It explores which organisations are active in this area, the barriers to family-based care, and where reforms have been successfully implemented. The report highlights examples of inclusive care reforms, advocacy by organisations of persons with disabilities, and support from international agencies. It identifies what works, what challenges remain, and where further evidence is needed. Designed to inform policy and practice, the report supports efforts to ensure that children with disabilities grow up in safe, nurturing families where their rights and needs are respected.
