IHC Breach of Human Rights Claim
Published 10 April 2008, Posted in National
If you have experiences circumstances such as a request to keep a child home from school when a teacher aid is not present, inadequate teacher aide or other support, exclusion of a child from school activities such as trips or other examples of different in inadequate treatment of a child in comparison to other peers, please contact IHC to help them with this claim.
IHC is currently preparing a complaint to the Human Rights Commission against practices that exclude disabled children from participation at their local school. The aim is to obtain a
declaration under Part 1A of the Human Rights Act that such practices breach the right to freedom from discrimination contained in s 19 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act.
The complaint is not being made by an individual or group of individuals. IHC is the complainant and will become the plaintiff in proceedings should this be necessary. This means that no
family or individual will be necessarily subjected the scrutiny of the judicial process.

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
