SUMMARY:Study session on Deinstitutionalisation practices
DESCRIPTION:Looking at deinstitutionalisation practices in EU national contexts: Spotlight on Czechia\, Malta and Spain\n 12 October 2023\, 14.00 to 16.00 CET\nRegister here\n  \nThis public study session organised by the European Expert Group on the transition from institutional to community-based care will take place in the afternoon of 12 October 2023.  \nIt aims to bring together professionals\, persons concerned by deinstitutionalisation\, their families and representative organisations to discuss the shift toward meaningful inclusion in the community.  \nA diverse group of people in the European Union are still institutionalised\, and de-institutionalisation processes are at different stages.  \nThe study session is an opportunity to help improve understanding of the deinstitutionalisation (DI) process in the EU where participants will discuss the initiatives in place in their country to advance the DI process for several concerned communities.  \nWe have invited expert speakers from both civil society and governments from Czechia\, Malta and Spain to present and discuss with the audience the different deinstitutionalisation processes in their countries.  \nMore specifically\, the study session will focus on large-scale mental health reforms in Czechia\, deinstitutionalisation of people with disabilities in Malta\, and a pilot project on deinstitutionalisation of people who are homeless in Spain. \nSee the full programme here

SUMMARY:Leaving nobody behind: Making social rights available to all families
DESCRIPTION:European expert meeting on family diversity\nco-organised by COFACE Families Europe and UNAF Spain\n9.00-18.00Tuesday 17th October 2023 \nMadrid\, Spain \nA 2020 OECD working paper “Treating all children equally? Why policies should adapt to evolving family living arrangements” refers to modern family life and the profound changes to children’s family living arrangements.  An increasing number of children live with unmarried parents whose informal cohabitation implies unequal rights in terms of access to welfare benefit and social protection programmes compared to those in married life. In addition\, children experiencing family dissolution are increasingly likely to share their time between the two homes of the separated parents\, and/or to live in a stepfamily. The partnerships of rainbow families are still not recognised in many countries (even if progress is being made to ensure more inclusive data collection for same-sex families (OECD 2023); while single parent families and parents of children with disabilities are often overlooked by family policy/support systems. Family living arrangements are very diverse and not fully identified by official statistics and addressed by national family policies\, with consequences on families’ living standards and their capacity to take risks and be resilient. \nThe context is one of fast-paced changes in labour markets and income security to which families have to act as key responsive entities\, cushioning potentially negative impacts and enabling/disabling risk-taking and change.  As well as being under care and work pressure\, families are time-starved with negative impacts on their mental health and well-being. \nPolicy and support systems need more than ever to be inclusive\, flexible\, connected and complementary to ensure that families can be resilient to internal and external shocks. However\, are these policies and services truly accessible to all types of families and are they designed with family diversity in mind? Families whose composition is less traditional are especially vulnerable and can be affected much more by social and economic hardships. \nThe European Union is taking different policy and legal initiatives to support this process under the European Pillar of Social Rights (e.g. EU Work-life balance directive\, European Care Strategy\, EU Child Guarantee)\, but more could be done to ensure that new social rights are fully accessible to all without discrimination. \nThe family policy mix generally consists of measures to address typical care and poverty challenges for families\, such as work-life reconciliation\, child-rearing support\, long-term care\, and financial and nonfinancial assistance for families in vulnerable situations. These measures are often designed and funded in different policy fields (education\, employment\, social\, migration\, housing). \nThis expert meeting co-hosted with UNAF Spain will: \n\nProvide an overview of the social rights of families at national and EU level\nStudy policies to support families in Spain\nTake specific look at early childhood services and policies and their availability for different types of families\nFacilitate cross-country exchanges of good practices in family diversity policies\nIdentify any gaps in eligibility or family policy designs\nConsider what adaptations of social protection systems and EU policies are needed.\n\nWorking languages: English and SpanishParticipants on invitation only: NGOs representing families\, policy-makers\, and researchers. \nFull programme available in English here and in Spanish here. \nSee full Meeting report here. \n———– \nLinks and presentations shared during the meeting \nText of the Spanish proposal for a Family Diversity law \nEU Social Policy Through a Family Diversity Lens (presentation of Attila Böhm) \nState of play on family policies in Europe: spotlight on 5 countries (presentation of Martino Serapioni) \nFamily diversity workshop (presentation of Beybin Elvin Tunç) \nActivity on social media: \nPolicy and support systems for families need more than ever to be inclusive\, flexible\, connected\, and complementary (Facebook) \nCOFACE connects with its supportive network in Madrid (Twitter/X) \nPeek into the heart of COFACE’s creativity (LinkedIn) \n
