All high end TV productions should have an accessibility coordinator on set whose role will be to be across and deal with any reasonable adjustments that need to be made for the cast and crew; Introduce a levy of 0.1% to create a disabled freelancers fund enabling disabled professionals to access financial support to equipment and reasonable adjustments they require without it falling to the production.
