Disability Information & BME Communities - June 2008

SID has received funding from the EHRC (Equality & Human Rights Commission), to explore and address the dual disadvantage in accessing disability information often experienced by disabled people from BME (Black & Minority Ethnic) communities in Surrey.

The first part of the project is a piece of desk-based research to produce a literature review and report which will form the foundation for a further piece of practical work.

A summary of this review of current findings and thinking, in relation to provision in Surrey (June/July 2008) is now available.

The next stage of the project will include meetings with professionals and workshops with disabled individuals from different communities to explore the development of appropriate information resources.
