Position statements are papers that say what CID thinks about different issues.

Each position statement has an Easy Read version.

This position statement is about institutions.

Institutions were places where lots of people with intellectual disability used to live.

People who lived in institutions had a bad time.

Large institutions in NSW closed in the last 40 years.

CID wants people to understand that institutions were bad for lots of people.

We want to make sure no one makes those mistakes again.
