PARTICIPATION PROFILES

The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) has created a series of resource sheets to enable an in depth understanding of the current activity of disabled people in sport. It has been compiled using data from Sport England’s Active People Surveys 1, 2 and 3. The research and analysis will provide a picture of the current patterns of disabled peoples’ participation within sport, enabling specific targeting of certain sports and groups. Information provided is based on the participation and satisfaction statistics in specific sports and designed to equip our partners with insight and knowledge of the current climate sport for disabled people. There are also overall information resource sheets based on the wider statistics across all sports in participation and satisfaction.

Some NGBs had too small a sample size to be analysed. These are:

· Boccia

· Wheelchair Basketball

· Wheelchair Rugby

· Triathlon

· Archery
