Criminal Code (Child Sexual Offences Reform) Submission
QAI made a submission in regards to the Criminal Code (Child Sexual Offences Reform) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill.
Here is an excerpt from the submission of our recommendations:
Recommendations
- QAI supports the measures in the Bill.
- The State Government must do more to ensure that people with intellectual disability who have committed very minor sexual offences get better support in the community rather than detention.
- Take steps to improve the supports, particularly behaviour supports, available to people with intellectual disability who have been convicted of child sexual offences.
