Welcome

4 Disabled Talent is a database of disabled people who want to work in tv either on screen or behind the camera. It was designed by Channel 4 to help programme makers find disabled people to participate in all types of programmes.

Many 4 Disabled Talent members have programme production, journalism, presenting or performance skills. Many simply want to take part as contributors in documentaries, reality shows, game shows, etc.

Channel 4 is now monitoring disability representation in programmes and on production teams. Production companies should register any disabled contributors or crew members on the portrayal and production monitoring forms which have to be completed for every programme.

We have published a Directory of Disabled Contributors to assist producers in finding disabled people. The Directory lists organisations, groups and individuals who can be contacted either as potential contributors or as a source of further leads.

Download a copy of Directory of Disabled Contributors here (951 kb)

If you need help - as producer or disabled person - please go to Guidelines for Producers or Guidelines for Members or contact Alison Walsh, Editorial Manager - Disability.
