Lucy is the Access Manager at Access All Areas, and brings lived experience of neurodiversity, alongside extensive professional experience working in access across screen and theatre.

Lucy has worked as a lead trainer for both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 intake of access coordinators, funded by ScreenSkills, and mentors several of the 2023-24 cohort. She leads on Access All Areas’ partnership with TV Access Project and sits on a number of TAP working groups, and is currently designing the TAP Access Passport template.

Lucy has worked as an access consultant and coordinator on some of the UK’s most high-profile productions, including The Crown and The Witcher (both Netflix), on screen projects that pioneered disabled access like Ralph and Katie (ITV Studios for BBC) and Dinosaur (Two Brothers for BBC). Lucy’s recent experience working in unscripted includes 007: Road To A Million (72 Films for Amazon Studios) and consultancy for Pointless (Remarkable for BBC).

In the last three months, Lucy has consulted and led training for organisations including the BBC, Netflix, National Theatre, National Film and Television School, Central School of Speech and Drama, University College London and many more.

Lucy is a pioneer and sector leader. She led access for the first neurodivergent regulars on Holby City, Hollyoaks and EastEnders, and led the first relaxed performances in the UK as part of her role at Autism West Midlands, authoring ‘Show Time’, the first guide to relaxed performance.
