- Abstract / Indice dei contenuti
- The European Coalition for Community Living (ECCL) welcomes the debate
organised in the European Parliament on ending institutionalisation of children with
disabilities in the European Union. Although today’s event focuses on the situation
in Bulgaria, this country is one of many across Europe that continues to place
children with disabilities in long stay institutions, often for life. This briefing sets out
the steps that ECCL believes must be taken at European and national levels in order
to end this unacceptable practice. - Formato
