QCIE is very disappointed to once again be seeing the Prep readiness message being spread by Kindys, Daycares, the Dept, others.

2. The only things a child needs to be Prep ready is to be the right age, and have a heartbeat.

1. We are calling it out. It is not OK. It is not factual. It is not inclusive.

It is discriminative. It is distressing to families. It is abelist. It is wrong.

Special school educators!
There are kids in mainstream right now who cannot access your expertise & kids in special schools who would benefit from broader access to the academic curriculum.
Ending #Segregation isn't an existential threat
It's systemic improvement for ALL students

Thank you for sharing @aacjournalist

"Disabled people will not accept ableism and segregation at the hands of government policies any longer. The disability community has done their bit, now it’s time for Federal and State Governments to do theirs." #DisabilityRC Thank you @senatorpennyqld @SenatorJordon @Greens

[Cátia Malaquias @CatiaMalaquias]

Excellent interview in The Law Report with @GraemeInnes who supports Recs to #EndSegregation, and reflected on the disability community's fight for a majority of Commissioners with disability precisely to avoid the current outcome.

DSA believes that segregation is a form of discrimination, and that all students should be given the support they need to learn and grow.

Commissioner McEwin who supports an end to segregated schools, talks about the importance of this change:

Easy Read version of some of the big DRC recommendations, thank you @inclusionoz

We agree with #EndSegregation but #28YearsIsTooLong . We must act with urgency to ensure not even one more generation of kids experience segregation, let alone two!!

#DisabilityRC

[Inclusion Australia @inclusionoz]

The Disability Royal Commission Final Report has 222 recommendations. We think everyone should be part of the conversation about what happens next, so we made an #EasyRead guide to some of the big recommendations in the report. #DisabilityRC https://t.co/Gdzq6mdlGh

[Cátia Malaquias @CatiaMalaquias]

This is an excellent radio interview with Prof @drlindagraham the Director of @C4IE_QUT dispelling some important myths about #InclusiveEducation which is much needed in the wake of the #DisabilityRC

Yes! Let’s get it done by 2030! It is entirely possible and must happen. All future children deserve the best that we can give, as soon as we can give it. Know better do better.

"We have a cycle of segregation...we must end that cycle"

Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John says segregation in education for people living with disability must end by 2030 #Insiders #auspol

[Cátia Malaquias @CatiaMalaquias]

Seriously shocked/not shocked by Sackville & Ryan's absurd/ableist argument that as long as segregated disabled people have "interchanges" with others, it's not *really* segregation. Disabled people are entitled to FULL EQUALITY & PARTICIPATION! #DisabilityRC #EndSegregation

[All Means All @AllMeansAllAus]

Segregated disabled students having "interchanges" with non-segregated students is #fauxclusion! Inclusive education reflects the human rights standard of equality & non discrimination and demands nothing less than than full participation on the same basis.

[JFA Purple Orange @JFAPurpleOrange]

The release of such an important report is historic, but also stressful. So much material can feel overwhelming and create uncertainty about the future. Please prioritise self-care and allow time to process it all. If you need support, call Lifeline 13 11 14 to talk to someone.

[QLDCollectiveIE @QLDCollectiveIE]

We agree, 28 years is way too long. We don’t want 2 more generations of kids to be educated separately!

[QLDCollectiveIE @QLDCollectiveIE]

@kurtfearnley We welcome the Recommendations with regard to Inclusive Education, but 28 years to close Special Schools is way too long. #28YearsIsTooLong #DisabilityRC #EndSegregation

[QLDCollectiveIE @QLDCollectiveIE]

@QldAdvocacy We welcome it too, but 28 years to close Special Schools is way too long. #28YearsIsTooLong #DisabilityRC #EndSegregation
