Sent on behalf of The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID)
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to let you know that today The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) has published the UK Chief Medical Officers’ physical activity guidelines for disabled children and young people. The publication, which is available on gov.uk, is comprised of:
The infographic is the first of its kind to be coproduced with disabled children, disabled young people, their families and wider support systems, and so this resource is not only vital in fostering a more inclusive approach to promoting sports and physical activity, but also sets the standard for how research and the development of guidance, particularly those that are relevant to underserviced groups, should be actively shaped by their insights, experiences, and knowledge.
We would greatly appreciate if you could share this publication through your networks as widely as possible. You may wish to promote the resources via social media or ‘retweet’ posts from the Chief Medical Officers (1) (2) and OHID.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Apologies if you have received this information more than once.
