Research conducted in Bulgaria, Czechia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Portugal assessed the (1) barriers defendants with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities face in the criminal justice system in accessing information, support and procedural accommodations that prevent them from participating, and (2) the extent and manner in which law, policy, and/or practice (including promising practices) allow them to overcome these barriers, particularly through the provision of procedural accommodations.
The reports will help to shape reform and the creation of a disability bench book and protocol to make criminal proceedings more accessible.
