25.01.2022 All too often restrictive practices are presented as measures to keep people safe, both residents and staff. But the appalling practices that we are hearing about through the Royal Commission do anything but create an environment and culture of safety for all. Join FSSI and Office of the Public Advocate for an event to explore how we manage behaviours of concern when staff are also vulnerable in jobs. Registration now open.

21.01.2022 You asked we listened! Cert III alumni have told us they wanted to hear the voices of people with lived experience of disability right from the start of the course. What is it like living in an ableist world? What kind of qualities would they like to see in support workers? Today our brand new Cert III students had an honest discussion with panellists around language, choice, equality and respect. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences!
