Multimedia is a powerful way of communicating key messages to project stakeholders and enabling people to voice their experiences, concerns and ideas. Multimedia can have a variety of purposes and be delivered in a variety of ways for a variety of audiences; from DVDs to content for websites and portable devices such as iPods.

LDC Group uses multimedia to engage audiences and provide opportunities for people to convey important messages in policy development and service delivery.

Multimedia Newscasts for the Quality Framework for Disability Services

As part of its involvement in the piloting of the Revised Quality Framework for Disability Services, LDC Group developed 4 multimedia newscasts. The newscasts were designed to assist the sector in gaining an understanding of the Quality Framework for Disability Services

Newscast 1 "Quality in Practice: making a difference for people with a disability"

Individuals speak about what a quality service means to them. The first newscast is cut together out of interviews and general group discussion from focus groups conducted in April of 2006. Attending these focus groups were people with a disability, their family and carers, advocates and service provider representatives.

Newscast 2 "Quality in Practice: the journey"

Using the organisation of a bushwalk as their narrative, the drama group at iGAIN Quality Learning (Morwell) present a role play illustrating how the life areas inform the journey of continuous quality improvement.

The second newscast is written by the members of the drama group from an initial scenario provided by LDC Group. The group is supervised by Paul Lietzau. The voice over is read by Janet To.

Newscast 3 "Quality in Practice: my culture, my life!"

Using interview and re-enactment, the third newscast presents two stories of how culture may be expressed to inform quality improvement, even when the individuals involved have complex communication requirements.

Adam "Boz" Barry loves to go to the football and demonstrates how he learned to utilize public transport to get himself there. For Linda Lupson, the colour yellow is very important as it forms an integral part of her identity.

Justin Kavanagh and Laura Riseley, who work at the SCOPE CRU where Adam and Linda reside, discuss the impact of complex communication requirements on Adam and Linda’s ability to express culture and make changes in their life.

Newscast 4 "What’s going to make a difference to peoples’ lives?"

Marie Lugg and Kat Swift from the MS Society discuss how they have successfully integrated tools from the pilot of the revised Quality Framework for Disability Services into the quality assessment practices of their organisation. Pilot participant Veronica Moriarty talks about what the revised standards mean to her as a user of MS Society services.
