New Website - Reduce Everyday Harm

The NDIS Commission are proud to support the research project Working together to prevent and repair everyday harm to people with disability as community research partners. This research is about the small, often subtle moments in support relationships that can leave people with disability feeling unheard, disrespected or hurt. These everyday interactions often accumulate over time and have a real impact on people’s wellbeing and sense of safety.

The project has created a website where you can find information, training materials, videos, tools and guidance designed to support people in working together. Preventing everyday harm is a shared responsibility. People with disability, support workers, families, communities, professionals and providers all play a role.

Providers and workers can support prevention and addressing everyday harm by:

  • creating safe ways to share experiences of harm
  • finding and fixing problems early
  • including people with disability in decision-making
  • making sure good practices happen all the time
  • supporting staff through training and reflection.
     

Providers and leaders can use the policy and practice guide to make support safer across their organisation.
