<\/p>\nNorthcott frontline workers have begun to use the tool with Housing customers to better understand the implications of support choices in terms of the richness of the customers\u2019 lives. The tool helps staff to enable support for more activities the customers enjoy and less of those they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
A Good Life has been two years in the making. NI is very excited to see it reach this stage and is seeking more funding to further develop it for broader use in the disability and aged care sectors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” class=”content_inner”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1729822884953{background-color: #fff5f9 !important;}” el_class=”block_tit_content small_pad” text_direction=”default”]\n
We are excited about our \u2018Love Rights\u2019 project, which is addressing the gap in resources and support to prevent sexual violence against people with disability. Funded by the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, Northcott will create peer-informed and accessible resources for people with disability and develop an evidence-based training program for disability support workers around how to prevent sexual violence and practical support. A community survey conducted early in 2024 has helped to us to identify gaps in resources.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”60″ top_padding_tablet=”40″ top_padding_phone=”20″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” class=”content_inner”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Our subsidiary, Northcott Innovation (NI) partnered with DisAbility Maternity Care and women with intellectual disability to co-create five resources to support decision-making during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Across three phases of workshops held in Parramatta and Port Macquarie, NI consulted with women with intellectual disability who were pregnant or who had had a baby to decide what topics and themes would be most useful to cover in the resources. Participants also provided feedback on the content of each resource and gave their final approval before publication.<\/p>\n
The project was funded by a grant from the Council for Intellectual Disability, as part of a larger project about supported decision-making called My Rights Matter.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”small” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-2″ solid_text_color_override=”#1d4e97″ icon_family=”none” el_class=”btn_dl” text=”Access the resources here!” url=”https:\/\/northcottinnovation.com.au\/project\/supportingwomenwithidduringpregnancy\/”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”70″ custom_height_tablet=”50″ custom_height_phone=”30″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
