5. Methodology

The QPS has a well established practice of internal and external consultation. It is committed to consulting with people with disabilities, their families and carers and where required, disability organisations, to ensure that services are provided appropriately.

The QPS consulted the Reference Group advising the Chief Executive Officers’ Sub-committee on Disability (the CEO Sub-committee) and other external stakeholders regarding development of the Disability Service Plan.

Input from relevant internal parties has been sought, including the People with Disabilities Support Network, Human Resource Policy and Workforce Planning Section, Equity and Diversity Unit, Cultural Advisory Unit, Human Resource Development Branch, Information Management Division, Property and Facilities Branch and Policing Advancement Branch.

The Disability Services Plan was endorsed by the CEO Sub-committee in June 2007.

During the life of the Plan, the Queensland Police Service is committed to a process of ongoing internal and external consultation and review.
