National Sorry Day

National Sorry Day, May 26, recognises the cultural genocide of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in Australia. Transgenerational trauma is one example of the lasting impacts of the forced removal of children, and the Stolen Generations. National Sorry Day is a time for the stories of grief and loss, and the stories of the survival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to be told.



'Let's Talk Inclusion' aims to build the capacity and capability of educators to implement quality inclusive practices by encouraging them to reflect on their practice and inspiring them to implement practical strategies to support the inclusion of all children.

In our first episode, National Education Leader at ACECQA, Rhonda Livingstone joins us to reflect on quality inclusive practices and how they are woven throughout the National Quality Framework to ensure all children are included. She also shares information on ACECQA’s new Disability Discrimination Act 1992 resources and how services can gain a better understanding of their obligations under the Act.

Emma Woods from Be You joins us to take a deep dive into the Disability Inclusion Guide. We reflect on how inclusion benefits everyone and how to build inclusive learning communities. We recommend you have the Guide with you while you listen Be You Disability Inclusion Guide.
