Disability Matters:
Disability Matters is an innovative suite of free resources to support those who work, volunteer or engage with disabled children and young people (from 0 to 25 years) and their families. It seeks to address the barriers that make society disabling. These challenges are faced by those with either physical and/or intellectual disabilities. Disability Matters is a suite of free online e-learning resources for everyone who comes into contact with disabled children and young people, whether this be through paid work or in a voluntary or charitable capacity. This could be as a doctor, teacher or police officer or equally as school bus driver, football or swimming coach or through involvement with a community group such as Brownies, Guides or Scouts.
Pride Sport Resources:
Including resources on Non-Binary People, Sport and Physical Activity.
Ethnicity data from Sport England:
Sport England’s report, ‘Sport for all – why ethnicity and culture matters in sport and physical activity’, is the most comprehensive ever picture of how people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities are taking part in sport and physical activity.
