Inclusive and Active

'Inclusive and Active' is a joint initiative between London Sports Forum for Disabled People, Sport England London Region and the Greater London Authority. It was officially launched by Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, on the 11th September 2007.

'Inclusive and Active' is a clear and concise action plan for how we can successfully increase the opportunities available for Disabled Londoners to participate in Sport and Physical Activity. By we, we mean all organisations involved in Sport and Physical Activity in London.

'Inclusive and Active' is designed to ensure that where opportunities to participate in Sport and Physical Activity exist, they are inclusive of and accessible to disabled people.

'Inclusive and Active' consists of thirty-six focused actions, with measurable targets and identified lead bodies. The end aim is to increase the participation level of Disabled Londoners by at least one percent each year in the time leading up to London 2012.

For ‘Inclusive and Active’ to succeed, we need every organisation, agency and club involved in Sport and Physical Activity in London to make three commitments:

1. To include, within their delivery plans and future work programmes, specific 'Inclusive and Active' actions.
2. To include disability impact assessments as standard in every review, initiative, programme or project supported or funded by their organisation directly or indirectly related to sport and physical activity.
3. To set specific Inclusive and Active targets for their organisation, for the partnerships that they are engaged in and for the organisations that they fund or they contract with. To then measure performance against the targets on at least an annual basis.
