Parents with intellectual disabilities face many challenges when coming into contact with child protection systems. This article, written by a parent with an intellectual disability and her allies, looks at what the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation (the Commission) had to say about the topic. Examining the Final Report of the Commission and drawing upon the testimony of an Aboriginal mother with an intellectual disability, the authors agree with the Commission that urgent action is needed to address the over-representation of First Nations Australian families who have a parent with a disability in Australian child protection systems. However, the Commission also needed to pay attention to the needs of all parents with disabilities, and in particular, parents with intellectual disabilities. Child protection systems need to move away from judgemental and punitive responses to all parents with disabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
