Keeping school-aged children with disability safe: Summary (pdf, 362.6 KB)
The report Keeping school-aged children with disability safe summarises the Commission's findings from a review into how the system meets the protection and disability support needs of children at risk of harm. It does not identify any individual child.
This review highlighted challenges for meeting the needs of vulnerable children during COVID-19 when they are often less visible in the community. It also raised concerns about the reliance on parents being able and willing to access and engage with disability services on behalf of their children. The report did not make recommendations but identified areas where further consideration and action is required to strengthen system responses to children with disability.
