Dear Theo
You might be interested to know about the work that People With Disability Australia does around abuse, neglect and exploitation. They are a systemic advocacy organisation, and take a vigorous approach to abuse response and prevention. They have several specific projects around abuse and neglect, and also a campaign called ‘Shut In’ about closing the existing large facilities in Australia.
Their website is www.pwd.org.au and the campaign website is http://www.pwd.org.au/systemic/shutin.html
Good luck in making change
