Over the past few years the low take-up of services by black disabled people and their general absence from user involvement initiatives have become a source of concern. Evidence suggests that poor access to information, communication barriers and inappropriate services are all factors preventing black disabled people from having their health and social care needs met. This publication provides a practical guide to addressing race and disability issues for statutory and voluntary organisations. It identifies principles of good practice and shows how to implement them by means of real examples from the field and case histories.
