Despite encouragement to include people with a disability as regular members of society, participation rates remain stubbornly low. Under employment and unemployment create poverty that further alienates people with disabilities from full participation – The “Focusonability” program has made a significant contribution and also identified the need for further promotion.
Creates new and innovative ways to improve the diversity of the talent that shapes Film & TV content, and the types of stories that are therefor reflected on our screens as well as encourages employment opportunities within the entertainment industry.
