Victoria Scholes has become the first student from Ability Today’s Academy for Disabled Journalists to pass the NCTJ Certificate in Foundation Journalism (CFJ).

The NCTJ has partnered with News UK to train up to 100 out-of-work young people through the Government’s Kickstart Scheme.

The National Council for the Training of Journalists is to broaden and scale up its work on equality, diversity and inclusion.

"If journalism is a public good that serves society, it should tackle the roots of inequality head on: what stops some children achieving in schools or having the resources to compete among the talent pools for journalism (and society in general) later on? These are deeper issues beyond filling a page or screen time that will be required for change."

The NCTJ has partnered with Ability Today to launch an introductory journalism course for aspiring journalists with disabilities.

Two free places on a fast-track NCTJ diploma course at Sutton College are now available thanks to new bursaries funded by Reach PLC.

Two awards which celebrate diversity in journalism were presented at the NCTJ Awards for Excellence 2019, sponsored by The Independent.

Tackling social mobility issues and how to ensure fairness in reporting were on the agenda at the NCTJ’s equality, diversity and inclusion conference.

Dame Frances Cairncross, author of this year’s Cairncross Review into sustainable, high-quality journalism in the UK, is the keynote speaker at the NCTJ’s equality, diversity and inclusion conference 2019.
