| Synopsis: |
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 presents information that will help those involved in providing services to refugees and asylum seekers better understand the needs and experiences of disabled people in these groups. The book 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; an opportunity to hear the voices of disabled people in refugee and asylum seeking communities; and an opportunity to hear the voices of practitioners involved in providing services to disabled refugees and asylum seekers. Recommendations are made for social care and refugee practitioners and policy makers, and those providing housing to disabled refugees and asylum seekers. Central to all these recommendations is a call for greater disability awareness and equality training for those working with refugee and asylum seeking communities. |
