Covid-19, Disablism And Systemic Racism Survey

Covid-19, Disablism And Systemic Racism Survey

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.

To contact the Commission’s Secretariat, please email disability.race@vodg.org.uk

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
