The English Federation of Disability Sport has published a new set of guidelines for sport and fi tness providers. The guide- lines form a part of the Talk To Me report – published on 31 October 2014 – and draw from consultations with both active and inactive disabled people. In total, the report identifi es 10 key principles aimed at helping providers improve their offer to dis- abled people and make it more appealing. Talk To Me goes through each princi- ple in detail, providing evidence of what disabled people are looking for and recom- mendations of how to meet expectations. According to Barry Horne, EFDS chief executive, the key fi ndings of the report
can be grouped under three main headings – drive awareness, engage the audience and offer support and reassurance. “We know that a great majority of disabled people are more likely to respond to opportunities to get physically active which tap into the things that matter to them most,” Horne said.
“These include: building connections, family and support systems and health. Simply having fun is what most of us seek out, and more often than not disabled people are looking for opportunities which are as likely to appeal to their non- disabled friends and family.”
