 Recently staff of CDS, specifically Patricia and Tony attended the launch of "A Place to Call Home: talking about devolution". This DVD records the journeys of some of the residents, families and staff of Greystanes Children's Home, a large residential facility that devolved into a range of community based services. Other parents whose adult children still reside in institutions also share their hopes and fears of a future life in the community; and Jan Daisley, a leading advocate for people with disabilities, provides a personal insight into institutional care and her quest to find her own "place to call home".
The DVD will assist families, community groups, service providers and students in discussing devolution and its critical role in enabling a person with a disability to live a full life in their community.
The new Minister for Disability Services the Hon. Peter Primrose MLC launched the resource on Monday 24th May at the Masonic Centre in Sydney in front of an audience of over 100 representatives of the disability and advocacy sectors.
