Stand up - all parents of disability children/adults in New South Wales -
please write to Attorney General of NSW, Mark Speakman, and demand cameras and accountability by providers and organizations, in all places of disability care and disability programs, respite and accommodation - for protection and safety for their children.
Our children have no protection or proper justice at this time and we need to demand stronger laws to protect them to prosecute those who would harm them.
The Attorney General of NSW is Mark Speakman is also minister for prevention of domestic violence, Minister for families, Communities and Disability Services.
Become activist for your disability child and adult child’s life and future in the face of the rampant, harm and abuse of our vulnerable disability children, harm that is often hidden, denied, and always ignored by the justice system without camera evidence available.
Write to postal address : Hon Mark Speakman MP GPO Box 5341 Sydney NSW 2001

Letter Template to base your letters on -
"We need cameras to protect our children and adult children in places of care, respite and programs at this present time they are unprotected as those who would harm them can do so without being prosecuted as without cctv cameras there is no justice served or incidents caught and no criminal investigations occur due to lack of evidence. The perpetrators are not prosecuted and disability children and adults are not given equality of Justice because it cannot be proven what occurred and who hurt them.
Cameras are needed to find out the truth of incidents of harm and to give parents peace of mind when their children are needed to be in care or respite. Without cameras parents fear for their children’s future protection and safety. Cameras can be a deterrent and make providers more accountable, and ensure that those vulnerable with disabilities are treated with respect and dignity in places of care, respite and programs.
The non-verbal are often target and cannot speak up or defend themselves therefore they need a voice which we must give them.
Please make it mandatory with legislation to have CCTV cameras for disabilities persons protection in all places of care so that they will no longer be at the same risk of harm. Parents then can know their disability child will be looked after and have the protection that is their human right, in all places of disabilities. Our vulnerable ones deserve equality of justice the same as any other person in our society also a human right. Yours faithfully ...."
all the best
as we make a stand for our vulnerable children and adult children - they must be defended and protected.
