What People Have said about this workshop before:
“Not a single moment of being lectured. Honest, practical conversation with people who actually know production.”
Freelance Producer
“I came in thinking I knew roughly where we stood. I left with a list of things I'm changing this week.”
Production Company Founder, London
“The language section alone was worth showing up for. I've been paralysed by getting it wrong for years.”
Senior Agency Producer

What this is ✔️
✔️ A practical session grounded in production reality
✔️ Honest about the discomfort — language, access, money
✔️ About the workplace, not just on-screen representation
✔️ A conversation, not a lecture
✔️ The beginning, not a tick-box end point

What this isn't ❌
✗ CPD-style compliance training
✗ About what happens if a disabled person turns up on your shoot.
✗ Recorded for later — book the time it will be worth it!
✗ A pat on the back for good intentions
✗ A test to see how “virtuous” any of us are.
Producers are excellent at solving problems. Disability inclusion is one we've collectively decided is too complicated to start.
❌ The fear of saying the wrong thing is stopping people from saying anything at all
❌ DEI dropped off the priority list in 2026 — the disability employment gap is still 29%
❌ Job ads are excluding people before they even apply
❌ Behind-camera representation is dire — and our hiring habits are why
❌ The office is on the 4th floor of a Georgian townhouse” — and nobody knows what to do about it
❌ Your brand might be inaccessible and you haven't looked yet
Why this matters now
