Resumen: | Based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the QualityRights Tool Kit supports countries in their assessment and improvement of the quality and human rights of their mental health and social care facilities. It provides practical information and tools for assessing and improving quality and human rights standards in mental health and social care facilities. The tool kit is designed for use in low-, middle- and high-income countries. It can be used by many different stakeholders, including dedicated assessment committees, nongovernmental organizations, national human rights institutions, national health or mental health commissions, health service accreditation bodies and national mechanisms established under international treaties to monitor implementation of human rights standards and others with an interest in promoting the rights of people with disabilities. |
