Hands up if you love Bluey 🙋♀️ And so you should. Bluey is one of the most successful Australian pop culture exports, with over 20 billion minutes streamed on Disney . But it's rise to success is down to more than just its playful storytelling, vibrant animation, and memorable musical scores. There's actually 3 much deeper points that earn its position as a family favourite around the world: 🤷♂️ It guides fathers on how to connect with their kids:  Pop culture often shows extreme ends of fatherhood, but Bluey demonstrates the value of a fairer division of care 💃 It makes mothers feel seen and heard: Australian mums find Bluey’s mum Chili aspirational, so much so that InStyle Australia magazine used a headline to ask mothers, ‘What Would Chili Do?’ 👨👩👧👦 It showcases accessibility and representation for the whole family: Around 25% of Australians feel poorly represented onscreen, with 36% attributing their feelings to the lack of ethnic representation and 68% with a disability feeling poorly represented. Bluey has been lauded for introducing children and parents to disabilities including Dougie the deaf Cavapoo who uses Auslan (Australian sign language).

WHY CREATE AN INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND? We understand that inclusive playground equipment creates an accessible world for children of different abilities. Everyone, including children with disabilities, children who are typically developing and the adults in their lives, should have access to inclusive playgrounds. And we help you make those spaces a reality. For decades, we've recognized the power of play and the value of diversity. We understand how inclusive play equipment enables and inspires children of all abilities and ages to play — both on their own and with their peers. We also know how essential play is for all kids to grow and develop.

There are 14.1 million disabled people in the UK – and yet only 19% of working age adults are disabled. Disabled people are more than twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled people. The reason? In my view, this is because the traditional workplace is not geared towards their needs. Man/Woman can accomplish anything they set their mind to. If someone has a strong enough motive, a strong enough dedication, and a strong enough resolve, they can overcome any physical, psychological, or mental disability. This year Learning Disability Week is about challenging the barriers people with a learning disability face and celebrating the things people with a learning disability do. All communities have strengths, all citizens have power, and at Mencap we want to build on this together! #Doyouseeme #Disabilityweek #Mencap #BathMencap

☝️ Step number one: Make disability a comfortable conversation. 🤔 If you are wondering why this matters and how to approach this endeavor, you're in the right place. Our unique philosophy was not developed by those with a master's degree. It was not pieced together using an extensive survey of those with disabilities. Nor was it created by renowned psychologists. Our authentic approach to making disability a comfortable conversation stemmed from those directly affected by disabilities. From our board members to our speakers to our founders, each of us lives with a disability or with a loved one with a disability. We've experienced the awkwardness and discomfort surrounding disabilities and want to share how to make disability a comfortable conversation. 🥁 It's all in our name...Creating S.P.A.C.E ⭐ Storytelling - We believe in the power of telling one’s story and the power of hearing someone else’s to gain a better understanding of the human experience and create a connection with those around us. ⭐ Permission - We believe in giving people permission to share, listen, ask questions, and learn from one another. ⭐Acceptance - We believe in a safe space where everyone can be their true selves and feel accepted. ⭐Curiosity - We believe that curiosity fuels the desire for continued conversation that ignites understanding of other people's feelings, experiences, and identities. ⭐Education - We believe in educating future generations to spark systemic change in how we understand and view disability and humanness in our communities and the world. 🫣 Take a peek at our unique method of making disability a comfortable conversation! https://loom.ly/PWoynFI #DisabilityAwareness #DiversityEquityInclusion #HumanResources #WorkPlaceCulture #WorkPlaceWellness
