Briefing Paper 7
Rural minority ethnic experiences: housing and health
This briefing examines the experience of black and minority ethnic (BME) service users based in rural areas. With most BME groups traditionally based in urban settings, potential barriers to access and use of services consistently emerge in rural contexts, including poor access to advice and information; language and communication difficulties; and lack of culturally sensitive services and investment in capacity building. With poor monitoring practices in many areas, the association between ethnicity and 'non-White' individuals means that the needs of other groups, including A8 migrants, can often go unnoticed.
