How many more disabled people do we need working in UK television before the industry reflects the population?
Disclosing disability at work and in #DiamondData helps workers get the support they need to do their best work for employers. Hear from disabled #TVtalent in this video.

"Not everyone wears a bib and sits in a wheelchair all day. And that's the sort of #representation of #disability that's consistent in television. Where are the disabled villains? As in, #disabled people who are not nice? Because then you're getting fully rounded individuals, and people can relate to that."
We were glad to contribute to this fiery session at the Edinburgh TV Festival. What are good or bad examples of disability represented on screen?

How can you play a role in #DoublingDisability in TV? "We need everyone who thinks, 'this is something that's important, and something we think needs looking at' to say so, publicly, as much and as often as possible. The second part is to hold people to account." @cdndebs

Disclosing disability in TV production - why is it important? (Subtitled)
Let's talk about disability this #InclusionWeek! Having those first conversations is a crucial step in making the TV industry more inclusive. This can be easier than you think with a bit of preparation. Whether you're an employer or a worker, our latest video gives you a framework for getting those conversations started. Because disclosing disability at work and in #DiamondData helps workers get the support they need to do their best work for employers.

The social model of disability (no logo sound).mp4
Have you watched this year's MacTaggart lecture with Jack Thorne yet? In it, he talks about society's attitudes towards disability, and the social model. This short video from Simon Startin is a colourful starting point for understanding how viewing disability from a social rather than medical perspective helps us to be more inclusive. #DoublingDisability
Our latest report into disability in UK TV shows that at the current rate, it will take until 2028 at the *earliest* to meet the industry’s #DoublingDisability target of 9%:
♿There was a 0.9% increase in disabled representation in the industry from 2017-2020.
⚠️At this rate, it will be 2028 at the earliest for disabled people to make up 9% of off screen roles.
⚠️And it will take until 2041 for disability in off-screen roles to reflect the UK population of 20%.
The industry needs to be more accessible for disabled people. This report shows both the barriers in the way, and the way forward:https://creativediversitynetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Interim-Briefing-Report-on-Doubling-Disability.pdf
