In 2019 the Disability Royal Commission released an issues paper on education and learning. The issues paper asked 13 questions based on some of the key issues and barriers experienced by students with disability.
Women With Disabilities Australia (WWDA) have now submitted their response to the issues paper which highlights key recommendations to improve the lives and experiences of students with disability. The recommendations stem from the following key areas:
Inclusive education
Intersectionality
Inequality and discrimination underpin violence
Restrictive practices – torture and ill-treatment
Exposing violence – desegregated data and intersectionality
