1. According to ParalympicsGB, only one in four disabled people in the UK regularly participate in PE and school sport. 2. According to some reports, disabled children make up nearly 20% of the school population in England. 3. Some reports found that the lack of inclusive PE provision and adaptive equipment in schools is repeatedly identified as a major barrier preventing disabled pupils from participating in physical activity.
