The Efficacy of Outsourced Employment Services for Adults Exiting Australian Prisons
Crime rates in Australia have declined or been steady over the past decade yet prison populations are at all-time highs. Similarly, unemployment rates have been low but unemployment for those ex-prisoners seeking work is very high. In this paper, we draw on the findings of an Australia-wide survey of government-funded employment service providers who support working-aged Australians including ex-prisoners in their search for work. We find that th…
Playspace users’ experience of a socially inclusive playspace
Inclusive play is a fundamental right for all children however few studies exist on playspaces and children with impairment. Drawing on Australia’s early childhood learning framework, Belonging, Being and Becoming, this study aims to explore whether Livvi’s Place, an inclusive playspace in Port Macquarie, Australia, met the principles and values articulated in the framework, and whether the playspace, was meeting its goal of social inclusion. One…
Why Can’t I Play?”
This article explores the constraints to mainstream sports participation of children with disability in community sports clubs and schools through their lived experiences and the perceptions of parents, teachers, coaches, and club officials. It does so by administering an open-ended survey instrument to a sample of participants recruited from schools, sporting facilities, and disability organizations in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. Th…

This article presents a cooperative inquiry about faith undertaken by five Christian women, three of whom identify as living with disabilities, who explored their own and col…
Rights to research
For those labelled disabled, disability rights are synonymous with human rights, not merely a sub-category. In this paper we consider disability rights in terms of the right of people labelled with learning difficulties to be actively involved in research. Examples from an inclusive participatory action research project undertaken in partnership with people labelled with learning difficulties demonstrate how the Convention on the Rights of Person…
