| 520 | _aThe Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (hereafter referred to as the Disability Royal Commission) contracted the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health (CRE-DH) to complete a short scoping project to explore data and information on the prevalence and experience of violence against, and abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability ( we use the umbrella term ‘violence’ to reflect violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation unless otherwise stated).In Australia, violence is a serious and widespread problem. Although violence affects people from all cultures, ages and socio-economic groups, the extent, nature and impacts of violence are not evenly distributed across people and communities. People with disability experience violence and abuse at significantly higher rates than people without disability.1 There is increasing recognition that some people may be at heightened risk including women with disability, young people with disability, as well as people with intellectual and psychosocial disability. There is very little data collected in Australia that specifically addresses issues of neglect and exploitation. The historical omission of people with disability from national data collections, and the lack of up-to-date analyses where data on violence and disability are available, means there is limited empirical evidence to inform governments, institutions and the community about best practices in prevention and response. The current project addresses three key questions:1.What data are currently available about the extent and nature of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability in Australia?2.What are the limitations and gaps in the current Australian data and research landscape?3.What options are recommended to fill these key data gaps?We have addressed these three key questions in four main ways that correspond to each section of this report. In the first section of the report on the extent and nature of violence experienced by people with disability we present further analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2016 Personal Safety Survey (PSS). The PSS is a general population survey that collects detailed information about how people in Australia experience physical violence, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse by a partner and stalking. Despite its limitations it adds context to the complex issue of violence as experienced by people with disability in Australia.In the next section on disability and violence data assets we draw on projects already undertaken by the CRE-DH that mapped sources of data on disability and violence. We add to this by exploring the potential of other sources of data to extend understanding about the experiences of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability including for key community cohorts. In third section on understanding data gaps we expand on the data and information issues that are central to building comprehensive and reliable evidence about violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability. The section is organised around five key gaps: definitional complexity; design and methodology; quality and utility; data accessibility and data linkage. 6We conclude the report with a section on options for improving data, which includes a set of over-ar ching recommendations, along with a series of actionable steps for achieving therecommendations.
