I have a specific question for Ms Shakespeare on the access and inclusion model. In her opening statement she points to the fact that the model is doing significant work. As children with a disability progress further through the education system, what supports are there, particularly in terms of preparing people with soft and hard skills for future employment? Could Ms Shakespeare also speak about what can be done in this regard if those supports are not there? Whereabouts would she put the supports to even it up?
