Guide on media & disability

Who Is This Guide For?

This website guide is intended for all broadcasters and producers, including those of you who work in mainstream programme areas, from news to light entertainment and from drama to documentary. It is not just for programme makers working on specialist disability output. Although we use the term “programme” makers, much of the guide is also relevant to people working on other audio-visual content such as feature films, advertising commercials, non-broadcast videos, pop promos, and interactive multimedia products. Some of the guide is also relevant to commissioning editors, human resource managers, technical staff and staff working directly with listeners and viewers.
