About the Creative Diversity Network
This module was designed by CDN and is delivered by our Trainers who completed the Doubling Disability Train the Trainer course.
CDN exists to enable the UK Broadcasting industry to increase diversity and inspire inclusion. We work with our members towards a broadcasting industry with equality at its core monitored through the world's first industry-wide diversity data collection system, Diamond. Only 4.5% of those working off-screen in the UK television industry identify as disabled compared to 17% of working people in the UK - which means we need 13,500 more disabled people to work into TV to achieve the representative workforce the industry has committed to. Which is why we provide disability inclusion training to the industry and support industry action such as the TV Access Project (TAP). Join us.
Accessibility:
The workshop comes with an Otter.ai transcript as standard for more accurate captioning.
