Abuse and neglect
People with intellectual disability experience abuse and neglect at alarmingly high rates.
No one should ever experience abuse and neglect. But if they do, they should be able to get the support they need.
What CID thinks about abuse and neglect
Abuse and neglect are never okay.
CID thinks that people with intellectual disability should be able to speak up when people who support them do the wrong thing.

What we are doing
CID gave evidence in the Disability Royal Commission. This included supporting our members to give evidence.
We made Easy Read information about the Disability Royal Commission so that all people with intellectual disability were able to understand how it worked and how to get involved.
We create resources to help people with intellectual disability to understand abuse and how to take action.
