We needed to have a Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability to investigate the failure of education systems to provide inclusive education and address segregation, discrimination, violence and abuse for students with disability
Today marks a historic day with the commencement of the first public hearing of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability on education and learning.
With just one week until the Disability Royal Commission’s first public hearing where evidence is taken, explosive new research has revealed that Australian kids with disability are being systemically failed by a broken education system that is denying them their basic human right to an inclusive education.
Australia’s national representative organisation for children and young people with disability (CYDA) calls for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to improve for children and young people with disability.
People with disability are again raising the alarm that the integrity of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability is at risk due to the significant conflicts of interest of two of the appointed Commissioners, Ms Barbara Bennett PSM and the Hon. John Ryan AM.
Australia’s national representative body for children and young people with disability (CYDA) welcomes the NDIS Minister’s commitment to break the bottleneck for children to get their NDIS support.
