Disability Rights Commision led research 'Living with Disability'

This research was commissioned by the Disability Rights Commission. It was designed to understand the impact of disability on the Pakistani Muslim population in Rotherham. Very little is known about this group because not only does it target people from a minority ethnic group but who also have a disability. Consequently, their voices have not been heard before and we know very little about their experiences of living with a disability or their experiences of accessing mainstream services.
