University of Adelaide study

A research team at the University of Adelaide is running a study to hear from people who have lodged a discrimination complaint for a primary or secondary school student with behavioural issues connected with disability (this includes autism).

The study will look into the experiences of people who were involved in the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process.

This complaint must have been lodged to a relevant body, which includes:

• the Equal Opportunity Commissions in Victoria, South Australia, or federally,
• Tribunals (the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, or the South Australian Employment Tribunal);
• Ombudsman bodies in Victoria or South Australia;
• Education Departments in Victoria or South Australia;
• the Victorian Independent Office for School Dispute Resolution.

Participants will go through an online interview that will take place for one hour.
