SRV based submissions to the Royal Commission into violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability
Jane Sherwin and John Armstrong, both an Accredited Teacher of SRV (SRV Senior Trainer), have written submissions to the Royal Commission. Jane Sherwin's submission used SRV as the major lens in response to the Rights and Attitudes Issues paper. It recommends SRV as a helpful framework to understand both vulnerabilities to abuse and also to responding to the lack of valued roles which give access to rights. John Armstrong submission draws on Dr Wolf Wolfensberger’s wider work on human services and other literature that can be reviewed in the reference section of his submission. Both submissions are good resources for discussion groups.

We interviewed twenty-one people in a range of roles; each had between three and thirty year’s experience. We explored:
- in what contexts SRV has been used by them
- the key ideas that the interviewees drew on in their application of SRV
- benefits and outcomes from using SRV
