Thanks for this @Chloe_Scope.  I saw this advertised on TV the other day there.  It looks like a really good opportunity for disabled people.  I am thinking of applying. 

Chloe_Scope

No problem @Ails! You should go for it  
It looks really interesting doesn't it!

Ails

Yes, I think I will @Chloe_Scope and yes, it does look really interesting and unique. 

Chloe_Scope

Amazing! Best of luck with it @Ails!

Thank you @Chloe_Scope.  I will let you know how I get on.

I know people who have done these placements linked to the Paralympics and they are an excellent opportunity to get into the media.  I myself was part of BBc's Kick Off sports reporter scheme, which is another good option although not disability specific.  I have also accessed work placements in the past at the BBC which were ring fenced for a person with a disability and these were excellent too, so the opportunities are pout there.
