If you have pupils
with multiple disadvantages and you're taking them from a low level to a higher, but not top level, that is a huge achievement.
Evidence suggests that these are more effectively and efficient provided through universal services that are open to all citizens and which built in special measures to ensure that those facing
multiple disadvantage in their lives can benefit from the public services as much as richer people who are able to navigate complex systems.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS INTRODUCTION The 2002 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) is a multi-dimensional social survey of Australia's Indigenous population designed to enable analysis of the interrelationship of social circumstances and outcomes, including the exploration
of multiple disadvantage, that may be experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
As the largest group to enter the child welfare system, very young children who become the subject of dependency court proceedings
face multiple disadvantages, traumas, and losses during a critical time of early brain development.
A majority of these children have experienced
multiple disadvantages, such as emotional or mental health issues or deprivation.
There are existing Medicare - based initiatives targeting Indigenous health, such as specific item numbers which reflect
the multiple disadvantage experienced by the Indigenous community and the resulting higher complexity involved in providing Indigenous Australians with equal access to health care.
Conclusions
The multiple disadvantages predicted by childhood ADHD well into adulthood began in adolescence, without increased onsets of new disorders after 20 years of age.
