http://www.jrf.org.uk/knowledge/findings/socialcare/962.aspEditorial Comment:
The presence of disabled people in refugee and asylum-seeking communities in Britain is frequently overlooked and information about their particular experiences is rarely available. This report provides:
- A review of entitlements to social and welfare services
- Data on the numbers and social characteristics of disabled people in refugee and asylum-seeking communities
- Interviews with both disabled people and service providers on their experience
The researchers make recommendations for social care and refugee practitioners and policy-makers and those providing housing to disabled refugees and asylum-seekers. Central to these recommendations is a call for greater disability awareness and equality training for those working with refugee and asylum-seeking communities.
