Australian Human Rights Commission Submission to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 8 May 2017 89. 12 Recommendation: That the Australian Government develop a federal compensation scheme for survivors of human trafficking and slavery, ensure regular collection of data on, and the provision of specialist support services to child survivors of trafficking and slavery, and ensure the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights has clear links with the National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking and Slavery 2015-2019. Human Rights Education 90. Ongoing human rights education across all areas of the public sector is required. In view of the Australian Government announcement that it will ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture by December 2017, human rights education is particularly needed in the administration of justice and places of detention. 91. There remains limited explicit reference to human rights throughout the national school curriculum with the coverage of economic, social and cultural rights even more limited. 92. Australia’s activities for the World Program for Human Rights Education are ad hoc and uncoordinated. 93. Recommendation: That the Australian Government support human rights education for all areas of the public sector, particularly in the administration of justice and places of detention, and incorporate human rights education (including ESC rights) in the national school curriculum. 15
