Updated report on social inclusion issues

There is concern about the absence and inconsistency of reporting disability data, indicators or targets. The report outlines five key areas that need to be addressed. More harmonized methodologies of mainstreaming and data reporting are needed. There is a need to spread good practice in policies supporting independent living, and to recognise how educational inclusion impacts on employment and social inclusion more generally. We also hope to see greater attention paid to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the next round of the OMC.
