Disability-relevance of quality assurance systems in social services Spain

Abstract

[EN]It describes the situation of Spain concerning Social Services. It states that ehe Spanish Disability Strategy 2022-2030 must be aligned with the rights set out in the UN CRPD and with the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. To this end, the progress reports (to be carried out in 2024, 2026 and 2028) and the final evaluation (2030) must establish a clear relationship between the objectives and results indicators of the Strategy, the rights recognised in the CRPD and the 20 principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. Representative organisations of persons with disabilities should be encouraged to review their own strategic plans to analyse the extent to which they relate to the rights recognised in the CRPD. The internal quality assessment processes of public social services, service provider organisations and representative organisations of persons with disabilities should include in their self-assessments multidimensional indicators (using corresponding questionnaires or data collection with quality tools that should be robust and statistically validated) of achievements in terms of quality of life and rights.
