Respiratory care in Poland is a relatively new service addressed to carers of dependent people, whose priority objective is to relieve caregivers in their daily care activities for disabled (dependent) people. The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy proposes the “Respiratory care” program, which is implemented as part of the Solidarity Fund for the Support of People with Disabilities by municipalities and counties. The following study indicates the main assumptions of the program, the needs, definition and scope of activity.

Respite Care as a New Task for Local Government Bodies: A Review of the Legal Practice to Date Respite care, also known as relieving care, is a form of supporting families of people with disabilities that require constant care, especially at home. The purpose of this type of support is to temporarily relieve the family or informal caregivers from the need to perform caring activities, which are then taken over by a specialized entity. It seems to be primarily an instrument of social assistance, and not, as it is sometimes misinter preted, of the healthcare system. The aim of this study is to analyse the current legal status regarding respite care, its place in the legal order and the support system for people with disabilities and their families. First of all, it is based on analysis of the literature as the main research method used. The article analyses the solutions adopted, among others, in the Act on the Solidarity Fund and Programmes titled Respite Care.

Improve Practice

Abstract In addition to increasing knowledge, research is meant to improve practice and policy. The papers presented in this symposium draw from the experiences and insights of actual participants and their caregivers in major government-sponsored program options for people with disabilities wanting to remain in the community. Many of these programs are administered by our Administration for Community Living. For all, ACL serves as a main source of information for people in the community. These papers give us first-hand knowledge of what participants like and what they want improved. They give us guidance on how consumers define quality; the results can guide efforts to improve program design and the training of support brokers and representatives who assist people who want to manage their own supports and services. I will give a few examples starting with the paper on the Veterans-Directed Care Program and drawing ideas from the other papers.

This chapter assesses the role of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) in driving law and policy reform globally relating to the rights of people with disabilities. By ratifying the CRPD states promise to adopt proactive equality norms and provide positive supports for persons with disabilities. They are also required to involve people with disabilities in the enforcement and implementation of the CRPD. It is thus a valuable tool for those advocating for the realisation of the rights of persons with disabilities that they be treated on an equal basis with others and fully included in society. The potential of the CRPD as a tool for social policy reforms is illustrated with reference to its use to impact EU policy to accelerate the de-institutionalisation and de-segregation of persons with disabilities across the EU.
