Exclusion and bullying of students with disability is on the rise in Australia, with three in four impacted in 2024, according to a new survey.
Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) can reveal today that 75% of disabled students were bullied last year, while 72% were excluded from school activities or events.
This marks a dramatic increase from 2022 when a similar CYDA survey found 70% of disabled students were bullied and 65% experienced exclusion.
