The #TVAccessProject (TAP) in the #UK has created and launched an industry-first #accessibility #toolkit in a bid to make the #TVproduction sector more inclusive for professionals with #disabilities.

Local trade body Pact—which represents independent production and distribution companies—is partnering with the org to host this #FreeResource on its website, starting today.

The toolkit features guides and practical advice for producers, including tips on how to be more inclusive in the recruitment process, how to apply for funding to cover access-related costs on a production, and an overview of all the potential barriers (physical, visual, cognitive, etc.) faced by #PeopleWithDisabilities in the industry.

This resource also offers tailored guidelines for productions based on whether the project is currently in development, in production or in post-production.
