Great update to resource!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/177f2C6dpM/

We’ve just launched Restrictive Practices and Me, a collection of resources that support meaningful conversations with participants about restrictive practices.

The resources include discussion books in Easy Read and Plain English formats. They can be used to explain restrictive practices in an easy to understand way.

Restrictive Practices and Me was created in collaboration with people with disability, providers, state and territory governments, and the Council for Intellectual Disability.

Disability service providers used unauthorised restraints, such as locking people in their homes and administering potentially harmful sedatives, on people in the NDIS more than 300,000 times in the previous financial year.

A report quietly released by the NDIS watchdog in late September, which for the first time provides a detailed picture of the use of restraint against people with disabilities across the country, showed 177,611 of the 302,690 unauthorised restrictive practices involved chemical restraint – the controversial use of sometimes-harmful psychotropic medication to sedate or control clients.

Visitors with Autism, sensory sensitivity or disability are invited to visit our summer blockbuster exhibition 'Water' and the Children's Art Centre exhibition 'Below the Tide Line' in a relaxed, low sensory environment before or after gallery opening hours at the above times.

Presented in conjunction with GOMA’s ‘Water’ exhibition (7 December 2019 – 26 April 2020), 'Below the Tide Line' has been developed in collaboration with Erub Arts, Marion Gaemers and Lynnette Griffiths. In their work the artists create sculptures made out of ghost net as a way to raise awareness about ocean pollution. 'Ghost net' is a term that refers to fishing nets that have been abandoned or lost, causing great harm to marine life. 'Below the Tide Line' features a spectacular artwork display as well as a drawing activity and an interactive screen-based animation exploring ocean conservation issues.

QAGOMA has a range of free services and programs for visitors with disability including customised tours with volunteer guides between February and November.
