Take part in our disability survey

This survey is designed to solicit your opinions about disability representation within the media, and your experiences as a valued member of our audience. Please note that the definition of disability is taken from the Equality Act and reads thus -

“You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.”

This can, and does include long term illness.

Thank you for taking the time to aid disability inclusion at Reach.
