"UN SPT have terminated their visit to Australia due to lack of assurances of access to two states." Termination has only happened on one other occasion in its 15 year history, to Rwanda. ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

One of the key lessons from the #COVID19 pandemic is that we must transform our care and support systems.
People with disabilities were among the most affected by our broken systems. My latest report suggests a framework to rethink them👇

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk urges govts to establish rights-based care & support systems, that are gender, disability & age responsive. Recognizing, reducing & redistributing informal care work combats inequality & advances sustainable development: ow.ly/T8Ji50MM6jX

A new inquiry has found that nearly five times a day, a disabled person living in a group home was hurt, abused or assaulted. As El Gibbs @bluntshovels writes, it's a moment of reckoning for the NDIS.

Hear Aeon, Craig (@VMIAC) & me on @triplejHack w @davidmarchese on the impacts & human rights implications of seclusion/restraint.
Of course nobody wants to use them. But that's the wrong q: it's whether they're truly exploring alternatives.
Many do.

I like his old stuff better than his new stuff, but here's @SimonKatterl for @CroakeyNews' #SpeakingOurMinds.
Staff safety vs human rights?
No.
Staff safety via human rights.
Thanks to @bid_dr from @CMHNunimelb for contribution.

I welcome this groundbreaking decision by the #CRPD committee.👏It reaffirms the need to reimagine services for persons w/disabilities to live independently in the community, so they reflect 21st century realities & possibilities.

People with disability more likely to be incarcerated without conviction when governments have failed to fund appropriate housing. Prisons become the only housing that will not turn these people away.
