Comparative Policy and Practice (CPP)

Roundtable on Quality and Regulation in Services for People with Intellectual Disabilities

Date: Pre-conference day Munich IASSIDD July 28th 12.30 pm – 4.30 (including lunch)

Venue: TBC 

Aims: To share knowledge about regulation of intellectual disability service systems in different countries and consider key questions:

  • What is regulation?
  • What is its purpose in service systems and what problems does it aim to solve?
  • Does regulation achieve its intended outcomes?
  • What evidence is there about the types of regulation that work well and those that don’t?
  • What are the unintended consequences of regulation?
  • How do regulatory structures and approaches differ between countries?
  • What are the key knowledge gaps?

The Roundtable is open to all interested researchers. The Roundtable builds on the foundations set by the CPP 2025/26 webinar series [recordings available https://iassidd.org/webinar-series/ but you must be logged in as an IASSIDD member]. It aims to develop an international collaborative project about service quality and regulation to tackle questions about regulation; what works and why, and develop a principles/position statement for IASSIDD.

Format

  • 4 facilitated sessions of approx. 45 mins each
  • Ten minute presentations of pre circulated short papers to introduce each topic
