Disability Inclusion
The National Gallery’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan is central to our vision to create accessible art experiences for all.
Building upon foundational work done by the National Gallery over the past decade, the Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) joins our other action plans as a crucial component of our organisational planning to embed access and inclusion principles across all aspects of our work.
The National Gallery subscribes to the social model of disability, acknowledging the societal and environmental barriers that create disadvantage for people with disability in our community. In partnership with arts and disability peak body Accessible Arts, we have engaged with a diverse mix of stakeholders with disability to seek feedback and ideas now embedded in this Plan. We will continue to work closely with people with lived experience of disability to inform our thinking and design of our future projects.
Alternative accessible formats are available here.
