Study into violence in families with a disability

A preliminary study has found disturbing levels of violence are endured by the brothers and sisters of people with a disability.

It found the siblings were sometimes violently attacked by their disabled brother or sister.

The topic is rarely discussed openly by families for fear that they'll be separated.

The study's author, Kate Strohm is speaking to Nance Haxton.
