TV Campaign
|
To promote a better understanding of disability, DWP
has produced three short films made for television which deal with
a variety of issues affecting disabled people in their everyday lives.
The films aim to help challenge negative stereotypes often held about
disabled people and break down the barriers that sometimes prevent
them taking a full and inclusive part in society. The films form part
of the Images of Disability initiative, a Government initiative aimed
at positively portraying disabled people in Government advertising.
