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.

The Republic

The authorities of the Republic of Poland have ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and have undertaken the responsibility to implement such changes in the internal law and in social policy which aim at ensuring full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms by people with disabilities and preventing their discrimination in different aspects of life. One of the ways of fulfilling this commitment is described as ‘reasonable accommodation’. The author of this article has attempted to find manifestations of such activities in the field of school legislation and its practical examples. As a result, it turned out that in the analysed area many solutions are in line with the spirit of the ‘reasonable accommodation’.

Background and objectives. In Ukraine, until the mid-2000s, social policy with regard to people with disabilities was primarily compensatory in nature. Now the situation is gradually changing, the objectives of social policy are recognized to ensure equal rights and opportunities for people with and without disabilities. With the signing (2008) and ratification (2012) of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, our country has assumed the obligation to ensure the full social participation of people with disabilities in society. One of the resources that increase the chances of people with disabilities to master various spheres of life can be higher professional education, especially in an inclusive format.Methods. The study used: biographical method and interview method – to collect and summarize the information obtained; statistical method – to process the results of the survey, predictive method – to summarize various aspects of the use of inclusive education format in the system of higher professional education. Findings. The potential of the institute of higher professional education as a channel of social inclusion is proposed to use both at the macro level through the use of the model of socio-entrepreneurial approach of forming a system of higher professional inclusive education, and at the micro level through the identification and description of practices of forming an inclusive format of education in a particular university and tracing the life trajectories of people who received higher professional education in an inclusive format.Conclusion. The analysis of the successes and difficulties of higher professional education for people with disabilities shows that there is an objective need to consolidate the efforts of the higher education community with regional public organizations, executive authorities, regional and city institutions of health, education and social protection to support young people with disabilities.

Sebastian Mrózek, Categories and activities in the area of inclusion of people with disabilities found within commune strategies – selected examples based on the communes of the counties of Żywiec and Cieszyn districts. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 27, Poznań 2019. Pp. 29–52. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. e-ISSN 2658-283X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.27.02The issue of strategies of activities aimed at people with disabilities living in the relevant communes is a topic rarely undertaken in discourse of special pedagogy. These issues are found among the other activities that local government entities are contemporary obligated to implement, and span solutions and activities in the area of inclusion for people with disabilities. It is hence important to know and overcome problems and barriers that hinder or block the right functioning of people with disabilities. Some of solutions and activities are contained in the two types of communal strategic documents, these are: Commune Development Strategies and Strategies for solving social problems. The article consists of three parts. The first covers the characteristics of communal strategies and social policy towards people with disabilities. The second part presents the assumptions and results of research based on a qualitative analysis of strategic documents of 27 communes (about 3900 pages of documents) in terms of categories and activities regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities. The whole is summarised in the final conclusions. The aim of the study is preliminary recognition of exemplary activities found in the strategies of communes from the counties of Żywiec and Cieszyn. Text notes the “good practices” and noteworthy solutions for inclusion applied by local government entities with respect to people with disabilities.

The existing system of social support and employment of people with disabilities has undergone significant changes in connection with the transition to the market model of the Russian economy, which necessitated the development and adoption of a new model of social policy in the field of employment of people with disabilities. The involvement of people with disabilities with a sufficient level of education in the work is of great importance as it contributes to the socialization of the person and understanding of their importance in society. Moreover, the employment of people with disabilities in the context of the country's declining working-age population will contribute to the saturation of the labor market and the filling of available vacancies by workers.
