**Plain English Newsletter - Disability Services Commissioner - Annual Report Edition

Dear All,

We are pleased to provide you with a link to the Disability Services Commissioner (DSC) Spring Edition 2011 plain English newsletter (also available in RTF and Audio-mp3). http://www.odsc.vic.gov.au/publications.htm#newsletterPL  

This ‘Annual Report’ edition of the newsletter specifically focuses on providing an overview, written in plain English, of the work of our office throughout 2010-11, including:

·        the most common issues people made a complaint about
·        the types of services people complained about the most
·        how complaints were fixed
·        what DSC and disability service providers learnt from people’s complaints

This newsletter is designed to complement the information provided in our 2010-11 Annual Report and the ‘Our Year in Review’ booklet both of which are available on out website at http://www.odsc.vic.gov.au/publications.htm#review

We encourage you to circulate this newsletter to your networks, the people you support and their families.  Where necessary, we encourage staff to support people with a disability to familiarize themselves with the content of the newsletter.
