Abstract

This research project is focussing on four groups that may already have been isolated, excluded or marginalised prior to Covid-19. The research is organised into work streams for each of these populations.

The groups include:

Disabilities and long-term health conditions

Domestic abuse and sexual violence victim-survivors

Imprisonment and criminal justice supervision

Refugees, asylum seekers and destitution-facing populations

This report was conducted between July and December 2020. The report covers all four study areas and reports on issues relating to information, experiences and services.

Key findings:

Information serves as a gatekeeper to people’s ability to navigate the risks of Covid-19 as well as a mediator for how people think or feel about these risks.

Experiences varied but a shared theme was of lives of both continuity of pre-existing hardship, and change in terms of intensifying challenge through growing constraint of already circumscribed lives.

Services were stopped, slowed, or contracted, despite need expanding and intensifying.
