Community Services Workers (CSWs) should not have the role reviewing cases and referring allegations to the Protection Unit. This current process relies on a large and diverse workforce to have very specialized knowledge, skills and competencies. This means the experience of people with disabilities is inconsistent and at times inadequate. This is too important of a task to leave to chance.
