Cover of Poverty Alliance report called From Rights to Realisation. Disabled people and carers navigating the asylum system. There is a graphic illustration showing a woman in a wheelchair, with another woman standing next to her with a hand on her shoulder. There is a care professional in green scrubs looking at them, and all of them are surrounded by question marks and twisty arrow, representing uncertainty and barriers.

As part of our #RightsInAction project, we worked with people who are carers, or who are sick or disabled, and who have experience of the asylum system. This report uncovers the extra barriers they face to get health and social care.

Cover of Rights and Realisations report - it has someone in a medical scrubs speaking to two people, one of them is in a wheelchair. Behind them are question marks and twisty arrows to represent uncertainty and difficulties accessing health and social care.

Disabled people and carers in the asylum system are being denied safety, dignity and compassion because they can’t get the health care they need. That's the finding of new #RightsInAction research published today.
