Systematic review: legislation, policies, strategies & guidelines relating to disability in Malta

Editorial information: University of Malta Commissioned by the Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disability. 

This systematic review identifies and looks at national legislation, strategies, policies (including consultation documents) and guidelines in order to explore to what extent disability is included in mainstream policies, as well as how disability inclusion is facilitated through documents specifically targeting disability.

The aim of this review is to provide a clearer picture of how disabled persons in Malta are served by existing legal, policy and other official documents which have the aim of protecting and promoting disability rights and a quality of life which is comparable to that which non-disabled people enjoy. Thus, this document identifies disability-related official documents, gives an overview of what aspects are covered by these documents, and points out those aspects which are not covered.

The ultimate objective of the review is to lay down the ground for the amelioration of future national policies, legislation and strategies in order to ensure the protection of disability rights.
