Launched in partnership with the Sweaty Betty Foundation, Women in Sport and Nuffield Health, Access Sport has carried out a research project to identify the barriers that prevent disabled teenage girls from taking part in sport and exercise. The ‘Breaking Barriers’ report builds on Women in Sport’s ‘Reframing Sport for Teenage Girls’ research and explores disabled teenage girls' attitudes towards sport and exercise. Conducted via focus groups and a survey, the report highlights that this inactivity is contributing to disabled teenage girls experiencing worrying mental health issues, including being less happy and more anxious.
