"The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People
with Disability is moving into its final phase and will report its findings in
September.
For the last four years the commission and the media has reported a disturbing
stream of violence and harm in the community and disability services. Less
media attention has been paid to the commission’s work to find solutions.
Our research for the commission focuses on what we can do to change attitudes
towards people with disability so that we are all included in our communities.
This form of social change will improve the lives of the one in five
Australians who identify as disabled. And achieving this kind of inclusion will
also create a more diverse and interesting community.
When we value and respect people with disability, they are less likely to be
subjected to harm."
