Book Description
This report, published in association with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, 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. It is based on research that involved refugee community groups, disabled people's organizations, disabled people in refugee and asylum-seeking communities, practitioners working in reception assistant organizations and local authority social service departments in the UK. 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.
