Top UK film and TV production school puts spotlight on students with disabilities

The National Film and Television School (NFTS), a top UK film and TV production school, is addressing accessibility issues for students with disabilities. Historically, the campus and surrounding area lacked accessible housing and had numerous inaccessible areas. Starting in 2027, the NFTS will offer nine fully accessible rooms with living costs covered, enabling physically disabled students to live and study on campus for the first time. This initiative aims to increase representation of disabled people behind the camera, an area often overlooked in inclusion efforts. The school is also working to eliminate all 200 inaccessible areas on its campus by 2027, responding to criticism about the industry's poor track record on disability inclusion.
