The IMM recommends that the Government:

20. Initiate a co-designed nationwide campaign that:

a. promotes disabled people’s rights and dignity, including profiling the value of diversity;                                                                                                                   

b. counters negative perceptions about the value of disabled people’s lives that have been highlighted (promulgated) through debates relating to the
End of Life Choice Act 2019 and antenatal screening; and

c. urgently and specifically counteracts public perceptions associating psycho-social disability and violence.

21. Include disabled people-developed disability inclusion content in school curricula and tertiary level training, particularly (but not limited to) mandatory training for all teachers and others in professions that work directly with disabled people.

22. Provide additional resources to ensure that anti-bullying prevention campaigns fully involve, and meet the needs of, disabled people.

23. Ensure that, in considering the introduction of expanded hate speech or new hate crime legislation, disability-related hate speech or crime is included.

24. Provide disabled people–led training, through the State Services Commission, on the Disability Convention for government personnel.
