DISABLED PEOPLE IN REFUGEE AND ASYLUM SEEKING COMMUNITIES
by Keri Roberts, Research Fellow and Jennifer Harris, Senior Research
Fellow at the Social Policy Research Unit, University of York
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.
Disabled people in refugee and asylum seeking communities 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;
· 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.
