The Work Couch: Disability inclusion at work (Part 3): What does genuine accessibility look like? with Samantha Renke

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.

Content warning: The following content deals with some challenging themes around disability discrimination.

Given the theme of this year's Disability History Month is disability, livelihood and employment, the Work Couch takes a deep dive into disability inclusion at work in a three-part mini-series with actress, writer, broadcaster and disability rights campaigner, Samantha Renke.

In part three, which coincides with International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Sam talks to host Ellie Gelder about:

• The business case for universal accessibility;
• Adopting a joined-up approach to internal and external accessibility, for example in the retail sector;
• Understanding the different types of barriers (physical, information and communication, and attitudinal);
• Adopting a holistic approach to accessibility; and
• Examples of effective accessibility and allyship at work.
