It’s estimated that 21% of the adult working population in the UK are disabled.
A disability is defined as ‘any physical or mental impairment that has substantial or long-term negative effects on your ability to do normal daily activities’ under the Equality Act 2010, but what does that really mean for those of us striving to work in the Ocean sector?
This next free webinar in our Ocean Justice Series will start to explore what "access" to the ocean sector means to different communities, how a lack of access to the ocean can be a barrier to both ocean action, and to individuals wanting to experience the many benefits the ocean can provide.
The panel will include:
Rebecca Daniels - Director of The Marine Diaries, science communicator, and marine biologist.
Rada Pándeva – Founder of the Thalassophile Project
Bailey Smith – Disability Advocate @DisabilitywithBailey
Jess Winder - Founder of Ocean Ability Alliance
Join us to find out how we can dismantle these barriers and create an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can contribute to the vital work of protecting our oceans.
