The survey asked people with disability about their experiences with people who work in:

• health – like doctors and nurses

• education – like teachers

• law – like police officers and judges

• support – like carers.

The survey also asked people with disability about their experiences with:

• employers

• the community.

We heard that most people with disability agreed that people treated them with respect.

But only 55% agreed that people who work in law treated them with respect.

The survey asked people with disability if the community’s attitudes ever stopped them from:

• finding or using parts of the community

• taking part in community activities.

For example:

• travelling around
• going to school.

Most people with disability said the community’s attitudes never stopped them.

But some people with disability did say that the community’s attitudes stopped them.

We heard that the community’s attitudes stopped people with disability who have high support needs the most.
