Review of cultural safety in criminal justice settings
The First Nations Justice Office leads the Queensland Government’s response to Recommendation 9.3 of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability.
This recommendation response aims to strengthen the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with disability in criminal justice settings.
This work involves a review of criminal justice strategies and will identify recommendations towards a system that strongly supports cultural safety.
We will work alongside the following departments to deliver this priority:
- Queensland Corrective Services
- Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support
- Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism
- Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety
- Queensland Police Service.
