Your Experience Matters Survey – experiences of people identifying as Black Asian and minority ethnic residents - latest findings

We have surveyed people about how they have been affected by COVID-19. We wanted to highlight the experiences of those who responded to our survey who identified as being from a minority ethnic group.

We already know that COVID-19 disproportionately impacts people from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic groups. 

 

The Results

We have noticed significant disparities in the lived experiences described to us between participants who said they were Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic group and their White counterparts.

The respondents who were from a ethnic minority group were:

  • more likely to report a negatively impacted state of wellbeing, loss of income and difficulties with maintaining social distancing
  • less likely to benefit from local community networks and mutual aid groups
  • less likely to find information about COVID-19 and NHS services easy to understand
