Confronting everyday harms: preventing abuse of people with disability

残疾皇家委员会的调查结果要求采取新的办法来防止暴力、虐待、忽视和剥削。在认知理论的框架下，该项目提出了对有认知障碍的年轻人进行实证研究，并在他们的有偿关系中使用了“日常伤害”的新概念。研究结果将为早期应对残疾人支持中质量较差的互动提供信息。与政府、行业和社区合作伙伴的战略联盟将制定一个实践框架，以防止日常伤害和升级为滥用，并促进安全和福祉。这项研究对该部门就残疾人的权利和声音采取行动的能力建设具有政策益处。

The findings of the Disability Royal Commission necessitate new approaches to prevent violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation. Framed by recognition theory, this project proposes empirical research with young people with cognitive disability, using a new concept of ‘everyday harms’ in their paid relationships. The results will inform early responses to poor quality interactions in disability support. The strategic alliances with the government, industry and community partners will develop a practice framework to prevent everyday harms and the escalation to abuse, and to promote safety and wellbeing. The research has policy benefits for capacity-building in the sector to act on the rights and voices of people with disability.
