Would Mr. Kenny recognise that there is a top-down departmental approach from the SEC where it is not upholding the UNCRPD and the person-centred approach that is now required and that is now actionable in the past few weeks under the optional protocol? I have formed the opinion that the Department is giving the SEC a free run on this. They are not engaging with individuals when an individual, in all of their complexity and specific needs, is telling them the reasonable accommodation they will need and that they have no idea what the SEC will allow them to do. It is a very top-down process and the SEC seems to be an incredibly opaque body.
