Definition of Key Terms. In this study, the acronym DS will be used. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder associated with mental retardation. Children with Down syndrome have a typical physical appearance that can include small head circumference, flattened face with a recessed bridge of the nose, upward slanting eyes, small ears and mouth, protruding tongue, short, broad hands and feet, stubby fingers, broad neck, and stocky appearance (Encyclopedia of Clinical Child and Pediatric Psychology, 2012). One of the issues related to the research concerning the inclusion of children with disabilities or special needs in an educational setting is the terminology and the definition of inclusive education. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx (1998) argued that inclusion is a process in which schools, communities, local authorities, and governments strive to reduce barriers to participation and learning for all citizens. For Council (2011), inclusion is a continuous process of increasing the presence, participation, and achievement of all learners in education establishments. Two complementary definitions of inclusive education are suggested in Contemporary Issues in Special Educational Needs: Considering The Whole Child (Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2012). The first defines inclusion as the relocation of children placed in special schools to a mainstream setting. The second definition refers less to the placement of children with special educational needs, but focuses on the quality of education they receive. This study will use a combination of these definitions.

Definition of Key Terms. A number of key terms are used in the report relating to the various stakeholders that are involved in FP7 Security. A short definition of these is now provided: Beneficiaries - organisations that have participated as part of project consortia in Security Research projects funded through FP7 Theme 10 Security (2007-2013) and PASR (2004-2006). End-users - organisations in the public sector that could potentially make use of the results of FP7 Security Research. This term is sometimes shortened in the report to ‘users’. Examples of the types of users concerned include the emergency services, law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, public bodies responsible for public health and safety and some types of NGOs (e.g. those in the field of Crisis Management and Emergency Response). Other types of users include policy makers at EU, national and regional levels. Indirectly, industry, academia and research institutes should also benefit from the results of Security Research. The term ‘prospective end-user’ is used to describe public sector organisations that have not yet participated in projects, but could potentially do so in future, or may not wish to participate directly, but have a potential interest in taking up or further developing research results.

Definition of Key Terms. Before examining the current state of financial exclusion across the EU, we briefly define for the purpose of this study the key terms financial exclusion and Basic Bank Account. The term financial exclusion may be conceptualised in various ways. For the purpose of this study, we rely on a 2008 report published by the Commission which states that financial exclusion refers to a process whereby people encounter difficulties accessing and/or using financial services and products in the mainstream market that are appropriate to their needs and enable them to lead a normal social life in the society in which they belong.5 As such, financial exclusion is an overarching term and refers to individuals who have no access to bank accounts, revolving credit or savings of any kind.6 Although there are numerous aspects to financial exclusion, for the purpose of this study we examine only one aspect of this: the lack of access to a Basic Bank Account. In line with the terms of reference, a Basic Bank Account is to be understood as a bank account, for private individuals which includes services like making and receiving electronic payments for goods and services (e.g. transfers, direct debits, standing orders) and making withdrawals, but excludes any overdraft facility.7 Of those individuals who do not have access to a Basic Bank Account, one can distinguish between the following groups: (a) individuals who would like to have a Basic Bank Account, but whose applications are denied; and (b) individuals who do not want a Basic Bank Account. There are a number of reasons people may choose not to have a Basic Bank Account, not all of which imply financial exclusion. Individuals may live in a cash-based society in which lack of access to even a Basic Bank Account does not actually constitute financial exclusion. On the other hand, individuals could feel deterred from applying for a Basic Bank Account because they distrust complex financial institutions (due to e.g. lack of education8). Those individuals may be financially excluded.
