AGM 2019

THE ISSUES OF VIOLENT DAY LIGHT CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Elderly and disabled Asian People and their Carers and families raised the urgent and compelling issue about the increasingly violent day time crimes against Asian homes with disabled occupants in it.

APDA is asking those in charge of identifying Hate Crimes and stamping these out, acknowledge that the Asian Community are now more than ever being specifically targeted in extremely large numbers across London on a daily basis and as such these robberies should be classified as a Hate Crime and dealt with in a more serious way than they are currently.

APPEAL FOR WEEKEND RELIEF AND RESPITE

For Carers and Families of Asian Elderly and Disabled People

We have come to learn of many Carers/Family members having health breakdowns having to look after their disabled members evenings and weekends without any social or recreational activities for themselves.

Weekend services for them would prevent inappropriate health problem and hospitalisations and would be a saving for health and social services. We would ask the local authorities to look into this lack of dedicated support to disabled people and their carers for outside the 9-5, Monday to Friday framework.
