Fancy becoming a Broadcaster for Channel 4?

Disabled people are introducing some of Channel 4’s biggest shows as they take control of the continuity announcer’s mic to mark the broadcaster’s Year of Disability. Seventeen-year-old Olivia Hale was the first person to step into the continuity announcer’s booth on 10 June. Olivia, who has high-functioning autism, developed her own script and talked about her experience of autism on-air to raise awareness of her condition. The Channel’s Continuity Team is opening up the airwaves to alternative voices with a specific focus on disability. To find out how to become a Broadcaster for Channel 4 View Website. Anyone interested in taking part in this project can email recruitment@channel4.co.uk for more information.

Very good presentation, brave of the speakers to tell their stories and had a very high impact - feedback from Mate/Hate Crime presentation and video session at Safeguarding Working Together Conference

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
