Disappointment and discrimination: CYDA’s surveys of the learning experiences of children and young people with disability
CYDA conducted three surveys during 2022 and 2023:
- Early Childhood Education & Care Survey 2022 – for families and caregivers of children in early childhood education and care settings
- Youth Education Survey 2022-23 - for students with disability who are at school or who have recently left or finished school.
- Education Survey 2022 - for families and caregivers of children and young people in school
CYDA partnered with researchers from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne and Public Service Research Group, UNSW Canberra to analyse the data and prepare each of the three reports.
These surveys and resulting reports are part of CYDA’s ongoing commitment to understanding the experience of children and young people with disability in Australia. Taken together they give a comprehensive view into the experiences and challenges faced by children and young people with disability and their families as they begin their lifelong learning journey. The title of this document ‘Disappointment and discrimination’, captures the need for urgent change. We have included the tools available for ensuring improved outcomes for children and young people with disability.
