In episode seven of the ScreenSkills podcast, launched in partnership with The Adobe Foundation, we explore disability, data and defining the screen workforce.

On the back of the pioneering ScreenSkills and 4Skills study into the size and profile of those working in film and television across the UK, we hear from those behind the research at its launch event in London. They discuss how the data was formed and what impact it will have on future decision-making, policy and investment for the industry.

We're then joined by Sophie Morgan and Sarah Lazenby, presenter and producer behind hit Channel 4 documentary, Fight to Fly. The pair talk about their on and off-screen relationship, share their experiences of accessibility on productions and the importance of representation in front and behind the camera.

The episode also include the introduction of a new feature, Who Am I, where we speak to a member of the ScreenSkills team to learn more about their role and how it helps support those working in the screen industries. For its debut outing, we hear from bursaries programme manager, Fergal McBride, who tells us how ScreenSkills bursaries aim to remove financial obstacles to career progression.
