UNVEILING THE UPDATED DISABILITY REPORTING HANDBOOK Some of us at Media Diversity Australia and Griffith University's Inclusive Futures: Reimagining Disability have been working on this new version of the Disability Reporting Handbook since last year (version 1 took +3 years) and I'm thrilled that it has just been uploaded to the Media Diversity Australia website! Here are some of the changes that you can expect to see... A few edits were fairly minor tweaks and reflected changes in our community. For example, Disability Discrimination Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission, Dr Ben Gauntlett, wrote the incredible Foreword. However, he is no longer working in this position. Statistical data was updated when more recent information was available on government websites. A new section was also added about The Disability Royal Commission - what it is and report findings about media. A new chapter was added that looks specifically at how best to include disability in advertising, marketing or other types of media. Awesome organisations like Unstereotype Alliance, Bus Stop Films, Shift 20 Initiative #ZebedeeTalent all get a mention too. So much has changed since the original version, but so many basic principles have stayed the same. Just like last time, this has all been done in collaboration with members of the disability community, working media professionals and Griffith University academics. The same 'rules' still apply when creating inclusive content - whether that's a news story, advertisement, feature film or something else... #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs - media professionals should try to amplify disability voices where possible, especially if the story is about disability (or even if it's not). Let's keep working together to create media that best reflects the society it serves! Thank you to our amazing team behind the handbook: Lisa Cox, Joe-Anne Kek-Pamenter, Prof. Elizabeth Kendall AM, Dr Faith Valencia-Forrester, Briana Blackett, Antoinette Lattouf, Jessica Johnson, Pip Miller, Rachel Worsley and Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM #InclusiveFutures #ReimaginingDisability #GriffithUniversity #Disability #Reporting #Media #Journalist #Communication #Advertising #InclusionMatters

St Chads Hands-on St Chads, along with the charity sector as a whole, (well, in truth, every sector), are facing into the headwinds of increased costs of overheads. The rhetoric on top has promoted an air of austerity. The reality for community services is that we’re already doing it as lean and mean as we can. The risk is that added pressure eats into resourcing the delivery of quality services. Given that charity organisations are particularly vulnerable to cost rises the following may seem a counter-intuitive statement; that community services can, and do, lead that way through the storm. That’s because: - we are always being asked to do more with less - we are staffed by people with a motivation to serve our most vulnerable communities - we understand the dynamic of social outcomes, social impact investment, rights and responsibilities. - and… we know how to ask for help. So, here it is. St Chads needs your help. We’ve set up a Givealittle page. (https://lnkd.in/gcbEZJ3g) Paying the bills on increased costs for services and maintenance on building, vehicles, lifts etc should not impact on our core work here. Supplying materials and tools for art and woodwork result in marvellous creations but so much more is achieved with the Lifeskills gained from getting hands-on experience with all sorts of tools, machinery and mediums. Whether donation, on-sharing the page, or connecting with our story, you’re giving us that light through the storm. Thank You. #GivealittleforLifeskills #RotoruaDisabilities
