CDLP Business Plan 2012-2014
THE CDLP is engaged in many international and European
research networks including the
Marie Curie Initial Training Network DREAM
and it partners with a range of national research bodies on disability
in Ireland. Within the University it collaborates actively with the
Centre for Child and Family Support and the
Centre for Social Gerontology in order to advance a coherent lifecycle approaches to policy development in the new
Lifecourse Institute.
We place our research at the disposal of the disability community
in Ireland and abroad and we warmly welcome feedback and suggestions.
background
The formation of the CDLP coincides with one of the most
intensive periods of disability law reform in Ireland as well as
internationally. The adoption of the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2007 should help accelerate this worldwide trend and give it further direction. The disability action plans of both the
European Union
and the
Council of Europe help frame the policy choices facing Ireland and other European Member States. And the Irish Governments’
National Disability Strategy of 2005
provides a clear strategic direction and an unprecedented opportunity
for rational developments in the field. The main challenge ahead is
implementation and the Centre will produce research that contributes to
that process.
