Uniting partners to develop a disability inclusive learning framework

Disability

Together with the Active Partnership National Organisation, CIMSPA, Sport England, and UK Coaching, Activity Alliance are developing a disability inclusive learning framework. This collaborative project aims to ensure that everyone working or learning in the sector feels welcomed, supported, and able to thrive.

Disabled people often face barriers when accessing learning, training, and employment in sport and physical activity. These barriers can prevent many talented people from progressing or even getting started.

Activity Alliance’s Annual Disability and Activity Survey 2023-24 found that just 17% of disabled people said they ‘see people like me working in sport and physical activity’. Just 9% of disabled people agreed they have the opportunity to become a coach or take on a role in delivering sport or physical activity. That is compared to 24% of non-disabled people.
