The Bonavero Institute has been working with Dr Marie Tidball at the Oxford Disability Law and Policy Project to assess the impact of the pandemic on persons with disabilities in the UK.

Bonavero Report 4/2020 shows that the pandemic has weakened existing social care infrastructure. Local authorities are no longer required to comply with their legal duty to assess whether an adult or their carer needs support. These so-called “easements” could last until August 2022.

This research points to the crucial importance of including disabled people in policy-making that affects their lives. Pandemic responses must be closely monitored to ensure that they do not put individuals in need at greater risk.
