Disability and Domestic Abuse Report

09 December 2015 by Val Bowen

Public Health England has produced a new overview of disabled people’s experiences of domestic abuse. The report highlights how disabled people are significantly more likely to experience domestic abuse and have increased risk factors for domestic abuse related to their impairment, reliance and isolation, or wider risk factors. Disabled people experiencing domestic abuse may also encounter significant barriers to accessing services. View the report on GOV.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 :)
