Scope's In The Picture campaign is about encouraging publishers, illustrators and writers to embrace diversity - so that disabled children, who have been virtually invisible until recently, are included alongside others in illustrations and story lines in books for young readers.

It is not an attempt to create a separate strand of children’s literature, tackling disability issues.

People from every area concerned with children's books - from makers to sellers to buyers can influence and be part of this changing culture.

In The Picture was initially funded for three years by The Big Lottery Fund and was managed by Scope as part of its Time to Get Equal Campaign which is working to change the way disabled people are perceived and treated.

This website is now maintained by Scope as a continued inspiration to the book world to include disabled children in their books.
