CRU is pleased to support next week’s webinar that discusses Australia’s next National Disability Strategy. It is being run by the Australian Human Rights Commission and the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health.

The National Disability Strategy is a critical policy for Australia’s future. The new Strategy provides an opportunity for all levels of government in Australia to create meaningful opportunities for people with disability, recognise and respect human rights and ensure all Australians’ needs are considered now and if the future. But people with disability and their families need to provide constructive comment and innovative ideas to ensure this occurs.

Register on the link below.The Commission and The University of Melbourne's Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health are hosting a webinar on Australia's next National Disability Strategy.

The new Strategy is a once in a decade opportunity to create change. We invite everyone who is interested to attend, and to share this invitation with anyone else who may be interested.

The webinar will be held on Thursday, 24 September from 1-3 pm via Zoom. Auslan and closed captioning will be available.

I Choose Inclusion produced by Queensland Parents for People with a Disability (QPPD) in 2011 has been a valuable handbook for Queensland advocates for inclusive education for close to a decade, but it was out of print and out of date.
CRU has recently produced an updated version of I Choose Inclusion which includes information and links to the DoE Inclusive Education policy, NCCD, UNCRPD General Comment no 4, the Queensland Human Rights Act, and more.
It still includes valuable information for families on dealing with barriers to inclusive education, advocacy and meeting strategies, and the fundamentals of school inclusion.
Hard copies are available on request by emailing EducationProject@cru.org.au or you can download it via the link below. You can also join an online workshop on aspects of I Choose Inclusion at 10am on Tuesday 8th September. Register via our website.

Inclusive Education is a right for all children and backed by more than 50 years of evidence, but sadly many young children with disability are still directed away from the regular school. Even when students are in the regular school, there can be subtle and not so subtle messages that can erode a family’s positive vision and expectations of school inclusion.

CRU’s new publication, Dreaming Big, Standing Strong: Queensland Stories of Inclusive Education, features 26 moving and illuminating Queensland stories of inclusive education to encourage and inspire families and others that inclusion is not just possible – but benefits everyone. These stories also contribute clarity on likely barriers and what families need to know to stay on an inclusive path and build a rich included life.

CRU thanks the young people, families, educators and allies who generously wrote for this collection. CRU’s Families for Inclusive Education Project is proudly supported by the Queensland Government through the Department of Education.

Please share so all young people and their families can Dream Big and Stand Strong.
