Add Your Voice to the National Debate: 1 in 4 Poll
By Clare | 21/04/2011
Add Your Voice to the National Debate
People with disability have the right to have their voice heard in the ongoing national debate that informs government policy. The 1 in 4 Poll aims to strengthen the voice of people with disability.
What is the 1 in 4 Poll?
The 1-in-4 Poll is a regular national survey that lets people with disability express their views on a range of social issues. The first Poll focuses on Social Inclusion.The responses of people who complete the Poll will be used to influence government policy and inform future practice and research. We are doing the Poll so that the views of people with disability will be heard directly and responded to.
The 1 in 4 Poll has ethics approval from Deakin University and Scope.
Why 1 in 4?
Because 1 in 4 Australians has disability or cares for a family member with disability.
