Call for an inquiry into educational outcomes for students with a disability

Following on from a 2009 forum examining barriers to inclusive education in Victoria, the Inclusive Education Working Group commissioned a report, ‘Inclusive Education: Opportunities for every Victorian child to reach their full potential’.

The report makes recommendations including a call for an inquiry by the Victorian Ombudsman into educational outcomes for students with a disability.

The Inclusive Education Working Group comprises the Disability Discrimination Legal Service, STAR Victoria, Parents Victoria, VCOSS, the Disability Advocacy Resource Unit, and the Association for Children with a Disability.

The Working Group is keen for individuals and organisations who agree that an inquiry should be held, to endorse the report by registering their support. To register your support, send an email to elizabethm@acd.org.au with the following information:

I (name) of (organisation) endorse the recommendations contained in the 'Inclusive Education: Opportunities for Every Victorian Child to Reach their Full Potential' report. Please include your contact phone number and email address.
