Dominic has completed his Post Graduation studies but was told over the phone by a staff from the University that he would not be allowed to collect his certificate from the stage on that day as there is no ramp on the stage. Dominic is very disappointed and asked you for advice. What would be your response based on your understanding of the Disability Inclusion Act 2014?
 
Based on my understanding of the Disability Inclusion Act 2014, it is îllégâl to discriminate against individuals with disabilities in any area of public life, including education. The act requires places of education to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that students with disabilities are not excluded or disadvantaged.

In this case, Dominic has a disability that requires him to use a ramp to access the stage for his graduation ceremony. It is the responsibility of the University to provide reasonable adjustments for his disability so that he is not excluded from the ceremony. By denying him access to the stage, the University would be violating his rights under the Disability Inclusion Act 2014.

Therefore, my advice to Dominic would be to inform the University of their legal obligations under the Disability Inclusion Act 2014 and request that they provide a ramp for him to access the stage. If the University still refuses to make reasonable adjustments for his disability, Dominic may consider filing a complaint with the relevant authorities or seeking legal advice.

Research and write on Disability Discrimination Act 1992
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) is an Australian law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in a range of areas such as employment, education, access to premises, provision of goods and services, and accommodation.

The DDA was enacted to ensure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities and rights as other Australians. It recognizes that people with disabilities have the right to participate fully in all aspects of society and to have equal access to employment, education, and other opportunities.

Under the DDA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person with a disability in areas such as:

1. Access to premises: This includes access to buildings, public transport, and other facilities.

2. Provision of goods and services: This includes services such as banking, insurance, and telecommunications, as well as access to public events and entertainment.

3. Employment: This includes recruitment, promotion, and training, as well as access to workplace facilities and benefits.

4. Education: This includes access to educational institutions, curriculum, and support services.

5. Accommodation: This includes access to rental and other forms of accommodation, as well as access to facilities within accommodation such as lifts and bathrooms.

The DDA also covers other areas such as sport, clubs and associations, and the administration of Commonwealth laws and programs.

The DDA establishes the Disability Discrimination Commissioner as an independent statutory officer responsible for promoting and monitoring compliance with the Act. The Commissioner can investigate complaints of discrimination, provide education and training, and make recommendations to government and other organizations on measures to promote disability rights and inclusion.

In conclusion, the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 is a significant piece of legislation that has helped to improve the lives of people with disabilities in Australia by promoting equal opportunities and access to all areas of life. The Act recognizes that people with disabilities have the right to participate fully in society and provides important protections against discrimination.

Human rights including the United nations convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (UNCRPD)
Human rights are the basic freedoms and entitlements that all human beings are entitled to, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or any other status. Human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life, freedom of expression, and freedom of assembly, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights, such as the right to education, healthcare, and an adequate standard of living. Human rights are protected by national and international laws and conventions.

One of the significant international conventions that protect the rights of persons with disabilities is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The UNCRPD was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2006 and entered into force in 2008. It is a legally binding international human rights treaty that aims to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by persons with disabilities.

The UNCRPD recognizes that persons with disabilities are entitled to the same rights and freedoms as all human beings and that they should be empowered to participate fully in society. The Convention defines persons with disabilities as those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments that may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.

The UNCRPD covers a broad range of human rights, including:

1. Accessibility: The right of persons with disabilities to access the physical environment, transportation, information and communications, and other facilities and services.

2. Non-discrimination: The right of persons with disabilities to be treated equally and without discrimination.

3. Participation and inclusion: The right of persons with disabilities to participate fully in all aspects of society on an equal basis with others.

4. Respect for inherent dignity: The right of persons with disabilities to be treated with dignity and respect for their inherent worth as human beings.

5. Access to justice: The right of persons with disabilities to access justice on an equal basis with others.

6. Education: The right of persons with disabilities to access education on an equal basis with others.

7. Health: The right of persons with disabilities to access healthcare services on an equal basis with others.

8. Work and employment: The right of persons with disabilities to work and to be employed on an equal basis with others.

The UNCRPD requires states that have ratified the Convention to take measures to ensure that persons with disabilities can enjoy their rights and freedoms on an equal basis with others, including by adopting laws and policies that promote inclusion and accessibility. The Convention also requires states to involve persons with disabilities in the development and implementation of policies and programs that affect them.

In conclusion, human rights, including the UNCRPD, aim to ensure that persons with disabilities are treated equally and have access to the same rights and freedoms as all human beings. The Convention recognizes the inherent dignity and worth of persons with disabilities and calls for their full and effective participation in society. By ratifying and implementing the provisions of the Convention, states can ensure that persons with disabilities are empowered to live independently and participate fully in all aspects of society.

Sure, here are four more ways to support other workers to implement an individualised plan, along with reasons how they can help:

2. Organising systems for co-ordination between the different service providers: When multiple service providers are involved in the provision of care, it can be challenging to ensure that everyone is working together effectively. Organising systems for co-ordination helps to ensure that workers are aware of each other's roles and responsibilities, and are working towards common goals.

3. Providing the necessary resources for the provision of person-centred care: Resources such as equipment, materials, and funding are essential for the provision of person-centred care. Ensuring that workers have access to these resources helps to ensure that they can provide the best possible care to the individual.

4. Giving care workers enough time to provide the appropriate level of care: Care workers need sufficient time to provide the appropriate level of care to the individual. Providing adequate time helps to ensure that care is delivered safely and effectively, and helps to prevent burnout and staff turnover.

5. Enabling workers to provide feedback and recommend changes to the personal care plan: Care workers are often the ones who are most familiar with the individual's needs and preferences. Enabling them to provide feedback and recommend changes to the personal care plan helps to ensure that the plan remains relevant and effective over time.
 
Examples of physical barriers that may be encountered by the disabled person:
 Steps and curbs
 Doors which can’t be opened
 Doorways which aren’t wide enough
 Unsuitable toilets and wash facilities
 Poor lighting
 Lack of signage and visible information
 Lifts and escalators


How would you identify solutions with the person in order to overcome barriers mentioned above?
 
To identify solutions to overcome the physical barriers that may be encountered by a disabled person, it's important to involve them in the process and consider their specific needs and preferences. Here are some steps that could be taken:

1. Conduct a site assessment: Conduct a review of the physical environment to identify any obstacles or barriers that need to be addressed.

2. Consult with the disabled person: Consult with the person to understand their specific requirements and preferences. This would help in identifying which barriers need to be prioritized for removal or modifications.

3. Explore potential solutions: Work with the person to identify potential solutions for the identified barriers. This could include installing ramps, widening doorways, adding handrails, improving signage, and other modifications.

4. Determine feasibility and cost: Once potential solutions have been identified, assess the feasibility and cost of implementing them. This would help in identifying the most cost-effective and practical solutions.

5. Develop an action plan: Based on the identified solutions, develop an action plan with clear timelines and responsibilities. This would ensure that the identified barriers are effectively addressed within a specified timeframe.

6. Monitor and review: Regularly monitor and review the effectiveness of the implemented solutions. This would help in identifying any further modifications that may be required to ensure the environment remains accessible for the disabled person.
