The aim of this project is to examine the lived experience of people with disabilities in congregated settings to understand the impact on their quality of life and their rights under the UNCRPD. These insights will inform the development of a social policy report to refocus government attention on the de-congregation policy. This report will be used to inform the obligations oof relevant public bodies under the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty. It will strengthen the voice of people who communicate differently to enhance their quality of life, decrease poverty levels, and inform policy, strategy, and programmes. A toolkit will be developed to support groups to engage effectively with public bodies on the Duty in these contexts.
