The long awaited Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of people with disability is about to kick off. How do disability advocates best support their clients to feel safe in sharing their stories? What have past Royal Commissions taught us about this process?
In this session we will hear from advocates who have been involved with past Royal Commissions. They will share their words of wisdom, experience and top tips so that we are prepared and confident to make the most of this historical event and drive the real change that is necessary and overdue to improve the lives of people with disability in Australia.
After the session, Meg and Kristy caught up with Marie McInerney, the Roving Reporter on the day.
