DISABILITY SPORT

Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport is committed to equality in sport and getting more disabled people involved in sport. We work with a variety of partners to ensure equality of opportunity is at the heart of all sport and physical activity provision across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.

Equality in Sport

Sport can and does play a major role in promoting the inclusion of all groups within Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport. However, inequalities have traditionally existed within sport, particularly in relation to gender, race and disability.

Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport are committed to developing sport equity, both within our strategies, programme development and it is integral to support our partner organisations.

Sport Equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture and structures of sport to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to all members of society, whatever their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality or social economic status.

Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport is committed to creating opportunities for women and girls, people with disabilities and ethnic minority communities. View the sub-pages for more information.
