The Law 8/2021 of 2 June, which reformed civil and procedural legislation to support people with disabilities in the exercise of their legal capacity, has extensively amended the articles of the Civil Code. Almost three years after the publication of the law, it is necessary to analyse the situation in order to determine whether it is being effectively complied with or whether, on the contrary, the necessary change in mentality and approach has not yet taken place in the judicial bodies. To this end, various issues related to the application of Law 8/2021 will be addressed from a civil and fundamentally practical perspective (as demonstrated by the list of speakers), in order to verify whether it has achieved the desired changes in the autonomy of persons with less severe disabilities.
This course has been designed for social workers, lawyers, public prosecutors, teachers, school counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, public workers in social welfare and education departments and employees of public entities whose aims include the promotion of the autonomy of people with disabilities.
