The Disabled Leaders Network is partnering with the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) to bring you this free webinar on Public Appointments (board member roles within public bodies). We will learn what Public Appointments are and the types of roles available; DCMS has around 400 Public Appointment roles across 42 UK Public Bodies including Historic England, the Charity Commission, the National Gallery, UK Sport, and the National Lottery Community Fund.
Join us to learn about the roles available and how you can get involved. We will particularly learn about applying for these roles with a disability and hear from a current public appointee offering their experience and insight. There will also be a Q&A giving you the chance to ask questions directly.
