OBJECTIVE # 1: Laws and legislations.
In New South Wales, a number of laws relate to the area of sexuality and human relationships. There is no ‘one’ law encompassing the totality of this issue and it is therefore necessary to understand each law and how they fit together to define the working role relating to clients with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and sex, sexuality and sexual activity. These laws are designed to protect all members of the community, especially intended for groups seen as being minority or vulnerable, such as people with intellectual disabilities. The laws and pieces of legislation that are included in this topic area, for the purpose of this inquiry are:
Crimes Act 1900 (NSW)
Disabilities Services Act 1993 (NSW)
Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth)
(Family Planning NSW. 1998. p.41).
Duty of care (Civil Law) is part of the legal definition of negligence (McDonagh. 1997. p.57) and comes into effect under the Disability Services Act. It exists as a legal structure for disability organisations and workers to practice in a legally effective manner and is therefore paramount to understanding the disability workers role in relation to sexuality.
To demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the laws and legislations one must have access, therefore including the relevant Acts in the portfolio is necessary.
CRIMES ACT 1900
The Crimes Act 1900 refers to criminal law and the breaking of these laws is a criminal offence and can result in imprisonment of the offender. This Act defines when sexual activity is exploitative or damaging to another person.
