A huge thank you to Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion - QAI, ATSILS, PeakCare Queensland, Youth Advocacy Centre & C4IE who are leading a campaign which is calling for a parliamentary inquiry into the use of school disciplinary absences in Queensland state schools.
Recent data from a second Right to Information request shows that students with disability, First Nations students and students living in out of home care accounted for just over one quarter of school enrolments in 2020 (28%) but received almost two-thirds of short-term suspensions (62%).
