Getting people out of institutions is a human rights obligation. The EU has done a lot in the 10 past years to achieve this, but there is still a long way to go.
The European Expert Group on the Transition from Institutional to Community-based Care (EEG) will hold the "Towards Inclusion conference" on 16 January in Brussels, Belgium.
The purpose of the checklist is to ensure EU funds in the 2021-2027 programming period contribute to independent living and inclusion in the community.
The EEG has worked together with “Hope and homes for children”
to make sure that people who live in institutions
can move from institutions to the community.
