2. A Substantive Problem

3. Thinking About the CRPD
is it all about deinstitutionalisation?

4. Art 14:behind the criticism
Justifications for detention based on mental disability:
Capacity
Dangerousness
Need for treatment
protection

5. Framework for moving forward
Status quo not an option – but disability not a trump card
This is not a word game
Engagement with Committee view
Consider convention as a whole

6. Way Forward? Staged implementation – how enforce? How keep heat on?
Ongoing need to ensure that remaining institutions meet standards
Deinstitutionalisation – but risk of virtual institutions – new role for inspectorates?

7. Thank-you.
