Webinar June 12, 2024: Learning from deaths and serious harm: quality, safeguarding and safety

Trigger warning: the seminar discusses incidences where people with disabilities, workers, and in one case a worker’s unborn child, died as a result of service provision. The cases also involve serious harm to people with disabilities and workers, including sexual assault.
Our June online seminar drew upon cases under work health and safety law regarding service provision to people with disabilities. It also looked at two recent cases in which civil penalties were imposed on service providers under another law, the NDIS Act, for failure to provide safe care.
This seminar wasco-presented by Dr Alan Hough, Director at Purpose at Work and Adjunct Professor at La Trobe University, and Dr Dru Marsh, Senior Adjunct Lecturer at the University of New South Wales.
Both Dru and Alan are also practising board members of disability service providers.
