In this podcast, Greens Senator and disability advocate Jordon Steele-John, who campaigned for the Royal Commission, joins The Conversation to give us his take on the report.
Focusing on specialist schools for students with disability misunderstands the royal commission report’s point and misses its major implications for all schools.
The government taskforce responding to the disability royal commission recommendations needs to learn from the stories shared and also how they were communicated.
One recommendation from the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, could be the game changer that will impact everything – a disability rights act.
The disability royal commission recommended providers offer redress to people who experience harm while in their care. But reparations for past harms were not addressed.
