The Disability Royal Commission has heard that many children and young people with a disability are being excluded, segregated, unfairly suspended, forced to attend part-time, or subjected to a heightened risk of abuse, neglect and low expectations.

Students with disability in NSW deserve better! Help us take positive steps towards systemic change for true inclusion.

Sign our Petition to the NSW Minister and Shadow Minister for Education

Sign our electronic petition to the NSW Minister for Education and Shadow Minister for Education to obtain their commitment to Develop an Inclusive Education Roadmap and Invest in a Work Transition Pilot Project. 

Through a strong alliance of community members working together, we can succeed in creating a NSW where ALL students have access to an inclusive education. 

To the NSW Minister for Education, Sarah Mitchell MLC; and

NSW Shadow Minister for Education, Prue Car MP,

I ask you to support Family Advocacy's Same Classroom, Same Opportunity - Securing Better Futures through an Inclusive Education campaign which aims to ensure ALL students in NSW, no matter their circumstance, are welcomed and supported in the general classroom of their local school, all day, everyday. 

Whilst some progress has been made, too often, there are stories like Tim's, who has a disability, and is led away from his friends to a separate classroom every day and not included in school camp or school photos – a constant reminder of the ways he’s different when really he wants the SAME good things of life, just like everyone - to belong, contribute and be included.  

The Disability Royal Commission has heard that many children and young people with a disability are being excluded, segregated, unfairly suspended, forced to attend part-time, or subjected to a heightened risk of abuse, neglect and low expectations. Sadly, this sets up children and young people with disability for a life pathway of social isolation from the general community.

Children and young people with disability in NSW deserve better!

I feel strongly about this issue. and call upon the NSW Government to:

  1. Commit to an Inclusive Education Roadmap with a long term vision that will strengthen the system’s capability including supporting teachers so students with disability can access and participate on the same basis as other students. Read more here.

  2. Invest in a Work Transition Pilot Project to improve the transition of young people with disability from education to employment.
