Institutional accountability for community inclusion in disability services

IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONRehabilitation services should establish clear institutional responsibilities for addressing environmental and service-related barriers to community inclusion, ensuring that identified needs lead to accountable action.Effective community inclusion requires coordinated rehabilitation, social care, and community support services, with clearly defined referral pathways and mechanisms for resolving service gaps.Rehabilitation outcomes should be assessed through both lived experiences of participation and belonging and institutional indicators, including continuity of support, responsiveness to accessibility complaints, and access to effective remedies.
