Synopsis

There are some 8.5 million people with disabilities in Britain, around 15 per cent of the population, yet recent surveys still reveal widespread ignorance of disability issues. As a result, people with disabilities continue to face discrimination and difficulties imposed by society in every area of their lives. This volume looks at various forms of discrimination that people with disabilities face and what is being done to address the problems. Issues is a comprehensive reference series addressing contemporary social, political and human issues. Each volume contains a wide range of opinions and information.
