Desperate measures: new report shines a light on children relinquished into state care - 21 May 2012 

The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission today launched a report finding that 50 or more families each year are surrendering the day-to-day care of children with disability to the state.

Acting Commissioner Karen Toohey says that Desperate measures: the relinquishment of children with disability into state care in Victoria is the first report of its kind and shines a light on what has been a hidden problem in our disability system for many years.
