Rose Ayling-Ellis: ‘We all need the feeling of belonging somewhere’

Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

Available for over a year

In her new documentary, Signs For Change, Rose Ayling-Ellis goes on a personal journey into the deaf experience to ask if attitudes are changing towards deaf people. The actor and Strictly winner pops by to talk about how emotional it was to look back on her childhood and describes her work to make life on set better for deaf people. Presenter Nikki Fox gets excited about a recent visit to a specialist disability-friendly gym, (spoiler alert, she forgot to wear a bra) and co-presenter Emma Tracey explores why blue badge theft is up 41% and what can be done to stop the rise. Recorded and mixed by Dave O'Neill. Produced by Keiligh Baker, Emma Tracey and Sophie Wallace. The editor was Jonathan Aspinwall.
