Catherine Grinyer, co-founder and Director of Attendable, is passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion, and is the driving force behind many leading projects and events. Here she gives us some insight into how to make media and industry conferences more accessible to disabled journalists.

"The best starting point is to ask that all important question, what are your accessibility needs and how can we support you in attending the event."

News UK are delighted to have sponsored the Black Collective of Media (BCOMS) in Sport's fourth edition of it's D Word Conference.

The aim of the D Word Conferences is to put diversity firmly on the agenda for the industry’s key decision makers in the sports media. BCOMS has delivered three conferences on diversity and each has helped to positively influence the industry through solution-based discussions and sharing key ideas and good practice.

The conferences are designed to improve dialogue and discussion around diversity in the sports media. By using BCOMS broad network of experts across the industry the collective has seen the conference have a positive impact.

Here are just a few of the day's notable quotes:

"Having diversity within your programme, is incredibly important, if you don’t have it, you become irrelevant. It’s a huge learning opportunity for all of us. We should be very committed to putting that focus on managers and helping integrate diversity into our culture." - Stephen Lyle, Head of Sport at Channel 4

"Nothing comes from the top unless we have programmes that start at the bottom to make the changes we need at the top." - Ama Agbeze, Former England Netball Captain.

"The issue of leadership is a difficult one. When we start getting more black people in positions of power and seniority, that's when we'll see real change." - Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, Sports Reporter at Channel 4.

"From a commercial point of view, it is important, as broadcasters, that we tell inclusive and diverse stories."- Laurie Palacio, Deputy Head of talkSPORT.

The hosts of The Times Past Imperfect podcast, Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson, speak with actress Minnie Driver about how events in her childhood shaped her identity, career, and drive to succeed.

In her book, Managing Expectations, Minnie shares behind the scenes stories of her ordinary human life, which has sometimes been made extraordinary by circumstance. From her unconventional early years living in Barbados to the shock of fame, Minnie discusses how motherhood, love, success, failure, the power of sisterly love, and the loss of her beloved mother have shaped her. She considers how reaching for a dream is easily more interesting, expansive, sad and funny than the dream itself coming true.
