Insight and researchFulfilling partner needsIn 2010 our commissioned research found that, based on current roles and relaonships,NGBS have five broad needs that need to be addressed if we are to develop our work withdisabled people. These were:• Informaon and advice• Engagement support in how to idenfy, reach and work more closely with disabilityorganisaons and individuals• Paralympic support for talent idenficaon and to ensure the Paralympic sports have aplayer pathway• Training- including building the capacity of NGB in-house training teams to deliverdisability equality or important awareness training• Access to EFDS projectsLife Opportunies SurveyDuring 2010 the Life Opportunies Survey Interim Report was released by the Office forNaonal Stascs. This was a new large scale survey of disabled people and althoughcovering the whole of Great Britain, it contained key findings related to sport:• 72 per cent of adults with impairments did not play sport as much as they would liketo compared to 52 per cent of adults without impairments• 35 per cent of adults with impairments reported that they were too busy or did nothave enough me to play sport as much as they would like to, compared with 71 percent of adults without impairments.• The findings of this report were supported by the latest Sport England parcipaonfigures- Acve People Survey 4- which showed that sports parcipaon among “adultswith a liming disability/illness” had decreased naonally from 6.7 per cent in AcvePeople 3 to 6.5 per cent in December 2010.EFDS uses this survey as an important benchmark for other research within theorganisaon.Parcipaon and sasfacon profilesAs part of our support for Naonal Governing Bodies of sport and other partners, we
11created a series of insight reports. These enabled a greater understanding of disabledpeople’s current acvity in specific sports, both in parcipaon and sasfacon figures.They also equipped the partners with an insight into the current climate.The reports were compiled using data from Sport England’s Quality of Sporng Experiencesurvey 2009 and Sport England’s Acve People Surveys 1, 2 and 3. The research and analysisprovided a picture of the current paerns of disabled people’s sasfacon within sport,enabling specific targeng of certain sports and groups.Reviewing the role of Naonal Disability Sport Organisaons (NDSOs)In May 2010, we commissioned Yew Consulng to undertake a review of EFDS and NaonalDisability Sports Organisaons (NDSOs) and to idenfy how they can work together in thefuture to provide a ‘united voice and support service for the sports sector’. The focus of theresearch and consultaon was to idenfy the way forward and opons to improvegovernance and management systems.Several recommendaons were made as a result of the review. They were based on EFDS,NDSOs and Sport England agreeing and adopng a set of core principles with the top linebeing a shared long term objecve for inclusion.This was not just about EFDS and the NDSOs working beer together. It was a me foreveryone to agree one way forward and to decide their part in the future delivery. Thereview subsequently helped to inform the Inclusive Sport bid to Sport England.Sport leadership auditIn 2010 EFDS took part in a leadership audit of NGBs, led by fellow naonal partners WSFFand included Sporng Equals. 41 of the 46 funded NGBs took part. It focused on the keystascs which show:• 18.1 per cent of England’s populaon are disabled but just 50.7 per cent of disabledpeople are employed• Disabled people make up 9.1 per cent of England’s workforce, but just 6 per cent ofthe NGB workforce is known to have an impairment• At decision making levels there is limited representaon from disabled people
