Abstract
This working paper will inform the Discussion Forum on Parenting on 1 October 2020. It will provide an overview of the Irish legal and policy landscape in which persons with disabilities experience parenting as well as the conditions within which medical, social and legal practitioners deliver their services. This working paper will be used to familiarise participants from different backgrounds of the context in which disabled people’s experiences of parenting have occurred. Firstly, it will discuss international law relating to disabled people’s rights as parents (with a focus on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the European Convention on Human Rights). Secondly, it will explore the Irish context in terms of existing law (Constitution and legislation) and caselaw relating to disabled parents, with a specific focus on childcare proceedings. Finally, it will consider some relevant policies, programmes and practices and available statistical data on disabled parents in Ireland.
