Conceptualising modes of redistribution in public urban infrastructure

Publisher: SAGE Publications

Abstract: In this paper, we distinguish between five modes of redistribution in the allocation of funding for public urban infrastructure, including: the prioritisation of disadvantaged urban areas (area-based redistribution) the prioritisation of infrastructures that support disadvantaged populations (differentiated redistribution) reorganisation of urban infrastructural networks to address issues such as centralisation (systemic redistribution) transformation of infrastructure funding allocation and delivery systems (structural redistribution) and the prioritisation of infrastructures that support a convivial urban culture (relational redistribution). We apply the first three modes of redistribution with a longitudinal comparative analysis of state government infrastructure expenditure in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, from 1999/2000 to 2015/2016. This analysis shows that infrastructure expenditure in Melbourne represented a more just approach to redistribution, in an area-based, differentiated and systemic sense. It highlights the potential and limitations of each mode of analysing redistribution and their combined application as a lens into spatial justice.

“I used to call him a non-decision-maker - I never do that anymore”: parental reflections about training to support decision-making of their adult offspring with intellectual disabilities

Abstract: A rights perspective proposes supported decision-making as an alternative to substitute decision-making. However, evidence about supported decision-making practice is limited. Our aim was to build evidence about building the capacity of decision supporters. Eighteen parents of people with intellectual disabilities were trained in decision support using the La Trobe Support for Decision-making Practice Framework. Data from repeated semi-structured interviews and mentoring sessions were used to capture parental reflections on the value of training. The training acted as a catalyst for parent self-reflection and the Framework prompted them to adopt a more deliberative approach to supporting decision-making. Some parents perceived increased confidence of their adult offspring in expressing preferences resulting from their own changed approach. This study demonstrates the efficacy of this Framework and evidence-based training in building the capacity of parental decision supporters to be consistent with the rights paradigm. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe La Trobe Support for Decision-making Practice Framework is an evidence-based approach to decision support practice with an accompanying set of free online resources which can be used by in idual practitioners or programs to inform their practice and build the capacity of supporters.Parents of adults with intellectual disabilities value training in the La Trobe Support for Decision-making Practice Framework, which they consider helps to develop their decision support skills and self-reflection.Parents also value in idual mentoring following training to assist them to apply the principles of the practice framework to the everyday support for decision-making they provide to their adult son or daughter.Training in support practice should be accompanied by in idual mentoring or other strategies to assist parents of adults with intellectual disabilities to discuss and solve the difficult issues they confront in providing decision support more aligned to the rights paradigm.

Moving from Support for Decision-making to Substitute Decision-making: Legal Frameworks and Perspectives of Supporters of Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

Abstract: The United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) has significantly changed the way our society views models of decision-making for adults with cognitive impairment. The formerly-accepted substitute decision-making models – where a person can legally make decisions for an in idual, often guided by the ‘best interests’ principle – are considered less desirable than supported decision-making which prioritises an in idual’s ‘will, preferences and rights’. However, disciplinary differences in understandings about what these concepts entail and how they should look in policy, legal and practice frameworks persist. For many, supported decision-making is experienced through informal support for decision-making through close family, and in the absence of a legal appointment. What this support looks like and whether it can help achieve the aim of greater participation by people with intellectual disability is still being empirically examined. In addition, the circumstances when that support moves into informal substitute decision-making is largely unexplored. It is also unclear whether the reasons for such a shift mirror the legal requirements for the appointment of a formal substitute decision-maker under Australian law. This paper uses a subset of qualitative data from interviews with parents who act as supporters to adults who have an intellectual disability. The overall aim of the study was to explore the impact of training in applying a practice framework (the La Trobe Support for Decision Making Practice Framework) about effective support for decision-making. We show that promising development is reported from the impact of capacity-building training for supporters, with evidence that the decision-making capabilities of adults with intellectual disabilities can be seen to shift over a period of time and training informal supporters can be effective in moving the dial as to when a supporter finds it necessary to step in and make a substitute decision. However, we also demonstrate that considerations of ‘risk’ and future opportunities for the supported adult are nuanced factors taken into account by supporters who shifted into a substitute decision-maker role and this is not well accounted for in our legal frameworks.
