Caused of Social Exclusion Among Disabled People In England
Introduction
People are excluded when they are considered as not part of the networks which support most of the people in ordinary life including network of family, friends as well as employment. Among many others, poor people, ex-prisoners, homeless people, people with AIDS and people with learning and physical disabilities are considered as to be at risk of exclusion. Social exclusion is considered as a very broad concept which not just include deprivation, but also problems that are related with social relationships including stigma, social isolation as well as failure in the social protection (An Introduction to Social Policy n.d.).
Background of the Study
All countries identified that the disabled people are among of the vulnerable groups at risk of poverty and social exclusion (Office for Official Publications of European Communities 2005). Disabled people experience significantly poorer health outcomes than the non-disabled people in terms of health that are not connected to a specific health conditions that are connected to their disability. Furthermore, poorer health outcomes are also being experienced by carers of disabled children and adults. Disabled children and adults are at risk of experiencing social exclusion and discrimination that are connected with their disability (Piachaud & Nazroo n.d.). Aside from that, disabled people are also experiencing exclusion in workplaces.
