This article highlights the results from the first ever national survey of disabled people working in senior management. Key findings from 1,461 respondents (of which 911 were affected by ill-health, injury or disability) include: there is a large pool of senior, successful disabled people; 110 earned £80,000 or more; there were 102 board directors, 80 departmental heads, and 126 senior managers; non-disabled people were three times as likely to earn over £80,000; 39% of disabled people were confident that they would have equal career opportunities; and pay and opportunities varied by impairment group, with mental health conditions faring worse.

This short article describes the work of ‘Ethnic Deaf UK’ (EDUK), established after families became concerned about the lack of services for black Asian minority ethnic (BAME) deaf people, particularly those which considered their cultural and community needs. The article highlights how EDUK began by working with other organisations and government, raising awareness of issues encountered by BAME deaf people. Primarily a consultancy service supporting the development of projects for BAME people, EDUK provides mentoring services, interpretation, and deaf relay interpretation services. EDUK also provides sign language services to those who do not speak English as a first language. In a more specialised role, EDUK established a charity that focuses on deaf Muslim communities, providing Islamic classes between Arabic and British sign language.
