In The Picture is developing a range of useful resources designed to inspire and inform illustrators, writers and publishers.

• The social model of disability and the 10 Principles underpin the project. Download a poster of our 10 Guiding Principles [69.2kb PDF].

• Read the social model of disability in action in the story book Winnie the Witch.

• The good practice guidelines [132kb PDF] offer helpful tips and guidance for illustrators.

• Our frequently asked questions [FAQs] are there to answer the queries that come up time and time again.

• The image bank shows how illustrators have put disabled children in the picture and the wording "What's the story?"  on the enlarged image  gives further information and direction.

• Links in the image bank and our links section offer further sources of information.

• Booklists can help to identify titles that include disabled characters.

• The stories section shows how three story writing groups and illustration students put disabled children in the picture in stories and illustration.

• Session plans to use with children to help them learn about how we live in society. These plans fit into the art and design curriculum at key stage 1 and 2.
