Engaging Disabled People in Sport and Physical Activity

This guide has been developed by the EFDS in partnership with the CSPN to support CSP employees to strengthen public sector engagement with disabled people. It offers guidance on how to improve engagement and provides examples of good practice, enabling organisations to replicate these. With four out of five disabled people currently not active, but seven in ten wanting to increase the amount of physical activity they take part in, the disabilily sector is a huge area in which organisations can work to drive participation across England. This report was developed with support from disabled people, their family members and organiations that support them, providing a resource based on many years of knowledge and experience of working with disabled people. This provides crucial insight that can be used to develop new routes into the disability market, helping organisations to provide additional, alternative and innovative ways to engage disabled people.
