The Commission on COVID-19, Disablism and Systemic Racism is calling on disabled people and people with long-term health conditions from black, Asian, and other minority ethnic groups to share their perspectives on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Led by the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group and supported by a Board Of Commissioners, all of whom have lived experience of disability and are leaders in their respective fields, the Commission is also keen to hear from families, carers and people who work in social care.
The Commission was launched to explore how the worst impacts of COVID-19 have fallen on Disabled people, and even more so on Disabled people from Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnic groups. It seeks the evidence needed to hold the UK government to account over failings during the pandemic, and in building solutions for transformative and sustainable change in social care.
Responses to the Call for Views and Experiences can be submitted in a number of ways including via an online survey, Easy Read, audio or video file, or written document.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 30 September.
