Disabled people are often underrepresented and misrepresented in the images we see in content. As part of our ‘Changing the image of disability’ campaign, we are encouraging the media to think about the images they use to represent disability and disabled people.
To support you, we have created the following free resources for media organisations (journalists and picture editors):
- A collection of 50 images from our new Disability Smart Image Bank (for members of media organisations only). Complete the form below to access the images.
- New guidance to help you choose, commission and use images in a disability-smart way
- Ten principles of disability-smart imagery
Interested in covering the story of ‘Changing the image of disability’? Read our press release, Disabled people often not seen in media and advertising content, new research finds and contact our media centre
BDF Members and Partners can access the full Disability Smart Image Bank as a membership benefit so don’t need to complete the form below.
To find out about Business Disability Forum membership benefits – including access to all 480 images – go to our join us page.
Please only complete this form if you are a journalist or picture editor. All other requests will be deleted.
