Racism hinders disabled pupils

Children from black and ethnic minority families who have disabilities face more problems at school and encounter greater prejudice in their lives than white disabled children, according to a report published this week. All our children belong, by the charity Parents for Inclusion, found that not only did most families with disabled children experience difficulties, injustice and isolation, but disabled children from black and ethnic minority (BEM) families also experienced institutionalised racism too. It said, 'Early inclusion is very important and should start at nursery.'
