Interview with Phil Samphire, disability arts information and advocacy worker. Age 34. Comes from Manchester.

What does your job involve?
It sounds really interesting. Have you always worked in the arts?
What did you study?
So what did you do after your degree?
Which aspects of your job do you like the most?
It's a bit of a stock answer but working with such a wide range of people is great. And I really enjoy training organisations about their policies and approach to disabled people under Disability Equality Training. At the end of a session you know you've made an impact and that they are going do things differently. Attitudes are changing and new careers are opening up for disabled people in the arts and I feel I'm helping to make that change.
What about the least enjoyable aspects?
Any advice?
And do you look forward to work every day?
