During the project, serious knowledge-deficiency regarding the target group has been proven. All, from politicians, societal institutions, authorities and not least policymakers lack knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the dialogue, a deepening of the issue was proposed, for example, by examining and describing how integration works today and which obstacles are hampering the process. Also suggested was making visible the complex of problems with the establishment support which today clearly is organised from the perspective of normative abilities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For DRW to analyse the inadequacies within the establishment, the researchers believe that DRW first has to identify the points of contact between on one side newcomers with non-normative abilities and on the other side the Swedish Migration Agency, the Swedish Public Employment Service and other authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem with establishment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DRW has identified the following issues within the Swedish system of establishment:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deficits in the personal treatment of disabled newcomers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lack of disability rights perspective in the establishment support, for example, the period for establishment is limited to two years which means that disabled newcomers must find accommodation on their own after this.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 26th of April, Disabled Refugees Welcome, DRW participated in Aimday Disability at SUF Resource Centre in Uppsala. \u00a0 Discussion on disability issues.
