The BFI has named its first Disability Equality Lead. Clare Baines will take the post to further promotion of disability equality within the screen industries and internally at the organization.

Baines, who became blind aged 15, will push driving forward the BFI’s strategic aims and objectives for people who identify as D/deaf, disabled and/or neurodiverse.

This will include “implementing sustainable interventions” that prevent ableism in the screen industries. She’ll work with BFI colleagues to identify and champion diverse representation in the group’s projects and activities and those supported through the funds it distributes, such as the National Lottery.

She will also advocate for equality of access for disabled people, both physical, as well in terms of access to opportunities.
