The Disability Smart Image Bank
As part of our 'Changing the image of disability' campaign, our Members and Partners have access to an image bank of over 480 images that portray disability authentically and accurately.
It is by working together with Business Disability Forum and other companies that we can help create a better work environment for all people with disabilities
