South Asian disabled young people and their families
Abstract
This report is about the views of South Asian
young people with impairments. We wanted to
find out how everyday lives were reflected in
policy and practice. Little is known about young
people from minority ethnic communities with
impairments and this sometimes affects how they
are treated by the services. Myths and
stereotypes about different ethnic groups can lead
to discrimination. Policy and practice are not
always based on what people actually want. This
study set out to understand the views young
people and their families had about their lives in
order to try to improve this situation
