Submission: Everyone, Everyday Discussion Paper: A curriculum resource to raise awareness about disability for ACT schools

Publication date: 
March 2012

ACTCOSS has provided comment on the discussion paper on the 'Everyone, Everyday' curriculum resource to raise awareness about disability in ACT schools.

This paper highlights the importance of training for teachers, consultation with people with disabilities, culturally appropriate awareness and the need to define disability in a human rights framework when developing the 'Everyone, Everyday' resource. If properly implemented, 'Everyone, Everyday' will raise awareness and inclusion for people with disabilities in the Canberra community.
