community organisations to focus on sexuality rights for people with an intellectual disability. There are<br />
four parts to the SL&RR model. 1.Peer to peer work on sexuality rights through the peer led sexuality<br />
and respectful relationships program; 2.Supporting change in support relationships through learning<br />
partnerships 3.Sector development through partnerships with community organisations involved in<br />
domestic/family/ sexual violence, women’s and community health and disability advocacy; and 4.<br />
