BCIDN Report Back event – 9th October

The BCIDN organises specialist events from time to time. The most important of these was a event involving the Chief Executives and other senior executives from BCIDN member organisations. Held on Monday 9th October 2006 at BAFTA, the event was chaired by David Kogan (BCIDN Chair) and Gary O'Donaghue, BCIDN Associate and BBC Political Correspondent.

Member organisations provided reports updating their progress to implementing their BCIDN Disability Manifesto Commitments.

The event specifically looked at progress on Employment, on Portrayal, and on other issues including technology and access.

BCIDN commissioned a You Gov poll on public attitudes to the portrayal of disabled people on TV for the event. The results can be found at Research: You Gov report
