Thank you to @Channel4 for making an important programme. #StaySafeEast remains one of only five specialist 'by and for' services for Deaf or disabled survivors of domestic abuse and the only organisation working with disabled survivors of all forms of abuse. A long way to go...

Watching #Dispatches “Trapped, Disabled & Abused” I’m feeling extremely anxious and proud, but more than anything I’m grateful to the team at @Channel4 and @CandourTV who gave this important subject the attention it needs. @louisa_compton Thank you for watching. – at Camberwell, London

Case in point: published today in the Guardian, an article about a non-verbal Black teenager who has never left the UK detained at immigration centre. Clearly shows the ignorance and viciousness of the immigration system: amp.theguardian.com/world/20…

We are highly concerned that this law may have a disproportionate impact on disabled asylum seekers, who often have fewer options open to them than others and may face insurmountable barriers to coming to the UK by ‘legitimate means’. 🧵 2/3

We will continue to work with our sister organisations to support disabled asylum seekers and refugees and to prevent the abuse of their rights. The fight is far from over. 🧵 3/3
