What we know: 3 main barriers types to participation
Physical Logistical Psychological
Geography
Expense
Support of others
Communication
Facility
Equipment
Health and Safety
Suitability
Personal perceptions
Attitudes of others
My channels
Use communication channels that I already trust e.g. social media, local media.
My locality
Travelling to get to activities can be a significant barrier for disabled people. I would much prefer opportunities to be closer to home.
Me, not my impairment
Many people do not identify with being disabled and are put off by advertising that focuses on disability.
My values
Everyone has values. Understanding what my values are and linking an activity to these can make taking part more appealing.
My life story
As people grow older our values change. Keep me interested over time through new ideas.

The 10 principles to support providers to deliver more appealing opportunities for disabled people. Disabled people told us:
Reassure me
Some disabled people fear standing out and need to be reassured that any activity we attend will be welcoming and suitable for our needs.
Include me
Some disabled people need to know we are good enough to take part. Providers should make sure that people with varying ability levels feel included in sessions.
Listen to me
Disabled people can be limited by our impairment and should be able to discuss our needs in a safe and private environment before starting an activity.
Welcome me
An unpleasant first experience can prevent anyone from taking part again. Ensure that my first experience is enjoyable so I’m likely to return.
Show me
Engage disabled people who are already involved in your activity to promote it to others.

Charter for Change
The Charter sets out what disabled people say they need to make this possible and outlines three asks:
Everyone involved in providing sport or physical activity will support disabled people to participate.
Disabled people will have the same opportunity as non-disabled people to be active throughout their lives.
All communications about sport and physical activity will promote positive public attitudes towards disabled people’s participation.
