We engaged with this group through regular workshops and in-depth discussions to help shape the campaign, and they were consulted on several aspects, including the 'Ask Don't Assume' hashtag, ahead of the launch.</p><p> </p><p>A number of disabled people also worked directly on this campaign, both internally across the Equality Hub, and externally through creative agencies. Four disabled influencers were also involved in this campaign, and the campaign’s images were created by a disabled photographer who has Type 2 Usher Syndrome (deaf and blind). Their insights and lived experiences helped inform the development of the campaign.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 23/10/2023 12:59:13 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
