The Young People's Sport Podcast is back for a new series! Hosted by Ailsa and Sean, members of the sixth Young People's Sport Panel, these episodes will each feature a discussion around inclusion in sport. "In this series we will be covering various topical issues around inclusion, and how we can all help make sport more welcoming and accessible for everyone. As part of the YPSP we’re constantly learning about different aspects of sport outside our own experiences, and we get to talk to some amazing people from across the sporting system. This is something we want to share with others and open up some conversations about the power of sport and physical activity."In this episode we talk to Melanie Woods and Laura Pilkington about disability sport, their experiences and practical things everyone can to do make sport more accessible for people with a disability.
