DCN was set up by a group of committed museum professionals who are working with academics, groups, specialists, curators and managers to share knowledge to break down barriers for disability in the cultural sector.

Their website is a forum for the museum sector and to connect with charities, groups and individuals outside the sector. The website will include case studies, specialist knowledge and information for both the public facing aspects of museum work and supporting disabled voluntary and paid staff.

The Dyslexia Adult Network (DAN) was founded to increase awareness of the impact of dyslexia and related conditions on adults.

They are made up of representatives of the major dyslexia charities and of specialists, including adults with dyslexia.

Indeed, Christine played a big part in the founding of Dig-iT and for that we are eternally grateful.
