In this blog, we will provide clear and straightforward information about identifying abuse, reporting to the police and the NDIS, and the support available to ensure everyone feels safe and protected.
Identifying Abuse
Recognizing signs of abuse is essential for early intervention. Abuse can take different forms, such as hitting, yelling, or using mean words to hurt someone emotionally. It can also involve controlling someone’s actions or taking away their belongings without permission. If you or someone you know experiences any of these behaviors, it is essential to seek help.
Reporting to the Police
If you ever feel scared or in danger due to physical or mental abuse, it’s essential to contact the police right away. The police are here to help and will make sure you are safe. Remember, you have the right to feel safe and protected.
Reporting to the NDIS
The NDIS Commission is responsible for making sure that everyone in the NDIS is treated with respect and dignity. If you experience abuse from someone who is part of the NDIS, you can report it to the NDIS Commission. They have a team of people ready to listen and help.
The NDIS Commission’s Role
The NDIS Commission cares about your safety and well-being. When they receive a report about abuse, they will investigate to find out what happened.
