How In The Picture works

In The Picture works closely with authors, illustrators and publishers to raise awareness of the need for more images of young disabled children in illustrated books. It is set up to give support and encouragement to change the culture of the book world.

This website has over 190 pages of information so the following is a summary. The resources section is more comprehensive.

Image banks

Illustrated and photographic image bank areas contain images of disabled children to download from the In The Picture website. Designed to inspire illustrators and publishers they are a combination of new original works and existing images.

Illustrated and animated stories

Stories featuring disabled children are available on the website to inspire other writers and illustrators. The stories have been written by disabled writers and families of disabled children and illustrated by young illustration, art and design and multimedia students.

Factsheets

A range of helpful factsheets are available to download from the resources section.

Events and publicity

In The Picture is present at key events and conferences to raise awareness of this issue.

Its own conference - "In The Picture: The story so far" took place in London on 11 October 2006. The report is available here.

Key publications are targeted and over 250 pieces of media coverage have taken place so far.

Training

Based on our research report, "Sharing information with disabled children in the early years" which was published in November 2006, workshop based training sessions have been developed and delivered around the country. The sessions aim to help support organisations in the development of methods and practices to include all children. Contact us to find out more.

Consultation

We continue to develop links with people, organisations and groups who can form a virtual consultation panel – offering specialist advice about putting disabled children in the picture to people with technical or detailed queries. This way we are able to provide more comprehensive advice about developing an image or story line.
