ACCESSIBILITY to sport for people with learning disabilities has improved since London’s 2012 Olympics, but more needs to be done in the continuing push for equality, according to former England cerebral palsy footballer Jordan Smith.

With the 2024 Paralympics set to open in Paris in a week’s time, disability sport will soon be centre stage again.

Data from Sport England’s latest Active Lives Adult Survey shows disabled people or those born with a long-term health condition are twice as likely to be physically inactive (43 per cent), compared to those without (23 per cent).
