A report published last year by the department of social policy and social work at the University of Manchester on the community care plans of SSDs in England and Wales noted that few departments had incorporated ways of involving black disabled people. Looks at what is being done to bring pressure upon SSDs to take the issue seriously: workers at Huddersfield disability unit have been funded by the Home Office to work specifically with ethnic communities and disability and they report to Kirklees SSD on a regular basis and Hammersmith & Fulham SSD have appointed specialist Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia workers to provide information and carry out various activities which include awareness training to the black community and running support groups.
