Disability Rights UK has partnered with University of Birmingham to conduct a study into how they produce knowledge and information about physical activity aimed at disabled people.
Disability Rights UK has been working with partners in disabled people’s user led organisations, such as Disability Sheffield to develop models of practice to support more disabled people to be active locally. The evidence gathered from this research will help them to understand how disabled people want physical activity knowledge to be communicated.
