How SEC CAN promote child rights and sustainability

If you've ever sat with me at a negotiation table (whether next to me or across from me), I would love to hear your take on my take in this week's podcast episode. In it, I posit that although pointing out problems and working on solutions is good for society, our culture sees disruption of status quo as bad. There act of pointing out a problem exists and insisting it be fixed is labeled as conflict and conflict is in turn labeled as bad. Thus, most people who face significant problems in their lives try to avoid conflict for fear of being seen as the problem and therefore their problems go unaddressed in order to avoid disrupting and drawing the ire of the people and systems who caused those underlying problems. I propose that we need to normalize and encourage problem solvers to embrace conflict. This episode of DRMT's Growth Rings podcast explores this issue and contributes to normalizing conflict as a natural part of the solution process.

Lets understand the issues!! Supporting participants who don’t have Support Coordination can be challenging. When new clients come through without coordination or clear guidance, it often falls on frontline providers to help them understand the system — where to go, how to review their plan, and how to advocate for themselves. While we can’t advocate in the formal sense, we can support capacity-building by: helping participants understand their rights, connecting them to the right NDIS contacts or advocacy services, and empowering them to navigate their own journey with confidence. It’s a fine line, but a crucial one. How do others in the sector support participants in this space while staying within their role boundaries?
