Report by Scope.
May 2020.
The coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for society and policy makers, but the impact of the crisis has been particularly acute for disabled people and their families. This crisis has exacerbated existing barriers disabled people face, exposed new issues and highlighted where things can change quickly to create more inclusive conditions for everyone.
Since the start of the crisis, Scope has been speaking with disabled people and their families through our helpline, online community, services, social media, research panel, and through research polling, to understand what the key issues are. Scope has produced this briefing to bring together these different pieces of insight and to set out a number of urgent recommendations.
