Resum

Aquest article examina la forma en què l’Estat de benestar de la República de Xipre recolza i inclou a les persones amb discapacitat a través dels serveis prestats pel Departament per a la Inclusió Social de les Persones amb Discapacitat (DSID). L’objectiu és analitzar el DSID com a estudi de cas per a determinar si ha complert la seva missió de garantir els drets de les persones amb discapacitat a través dels seus serveis. Es va emprar una metodologia de recerca quantitativa, principalment mitjançant un qüestionari de preguntes tancades distribuït als usuaris dels serveis a través d’organitzacions afins. Els resultats de l’enquesta es van processar, van analitzar i van comparar amb els Informes Anuals de la DSID. L’estudi identifica problemes en el si de la DSID i aporta solucions a aquests.
