Series 1: Ep 7) What Does It Mean to Be Included? - Deb Rouget

Are you absolutely clear on what it means to be truly included? Belonging Matters CEO Deb Rouget drills down into this question to reveal vital insights into the concept of 'Inclusion'.  Social inclusion means - having a selection of opportunities, being recognised for our unique identity and contribution, abandoning segregation and congregation, and that informal supports are equally, if not more valuable, than formal.

In 2003, Deb was integral in the development of Belonging Matters which sprung to life as a catalyst to prevent the exclusion of people with a disability from their communities and enable individuals to enjoy a fulfilling life that is well embedded in community, relationship and citizenship. Since that time she has been the CEO of Be- longing Matters. Deb has also been keen to foster advances that leave people who have a disability and their families with greater control over their lives.
