This article discusses the effects of sexual abuse on black disabled children. Focusing on black children with learning disabilities, it examines how the dimensions of race, gender, and disability compound the problems they face after sexual abuse. It is argued that the way in which black disabled children and their families interpret their experience is likely to differ from other groups of disabled children. The article concludes with some reflections on the implications for making risk assessment for black disabled children.

It is widely recognised that minority ethnic groups experience social and material disadvantage and face barriers in their access to statutory support services. Families with a disabled child have been identified as being particularly poorly served. Research carried out at the Universities of Bradford and York is the first to provide detailed information at a national level of the needs and circumstances of families from minority ethnic groups caring for a severely disabled child, comparing the findings with those from an earlier survey of white families from the same database. Outlines the findings.
