There are around one million children with intellectual disabilities throughout the European Union. These children often find themselves subject to discrimination and exclusion from society, and are frequently denied the right to good quality education, healthcare, recreation and services. In many cases, their families are also subject to discrimination and are denied access to adequate financial and emotional support.

In light of this, Inclusion Europe, Eurochild and the Charles University in Prague, embarked upon the research project "Children's Rights for All: Monitoring the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child for children with intellectual disabilities". The project results will be launched at the Final Conference of the project from 20-21 October 2011 in Brussels.
