Unequally for the disabled – Västerbotten Courier

If you do not even have the opportunity to go to the movies once a week – then jump a little about getting away on a trip for two weeks.

To describe Karolina Celinska, ombudsman at DHR, the situation for many people with disabilities. A report from the National Board confirms her assertion: it means that people with disabilities are legally entitled to is far from evenly distributed.

The possibility of such visit friends and pursue leisure activities vary greatly from municipality to municipality, the report shows there authority of the LLS, the Act on support and service for certain disabled, enforced across the country.

Karolina Celinska’m not surprised:

– It is extremely many individuals who suffer, who do not get their rights under the Convention Sweden has ratified.

For purposes of LLS will become more equal in the country suggests the National Board that the law be clarified in several respects. Karolina Celinska also believe that municipal officials need to be trained. Local Government guidelines often differ from the spirit of the law, she says.

– It is a matter of educating municipalities on the rights of persons with disabilities actually have, but they must also allocate funds for these efforts.
