Activity Alliance charter to provide guiding research principles

A newly created charter, co-created with disabled people, highlights best practice for conducting research.

A group of people sit and read a piece of paper.

The document sets out the ways in which Activity Alliance will ensure that their research is barrier-free. It was co-created with disabled people and will lead the way in setting out best practice when it comes to conducting research.

As an organisation Activity Alliance is committed to providing leading data and information regarding disabled people and their involvement in sport and physical activity.

Molly O’Brien, Senior Research and Insight Advisor at Activity Alliance said:

"It was a creative and insightful process, as we worked alongside a group of disabled people to produce the charter. Having a co-created research charter ensures that disabled people’s voices are integral to approaching our research work."

With these guiding principles all research participants should be proud of their role and know that your work has made a difference. Feel comfortable, confident and accepted as an equal part of our team as well as grow, learn, and benefit from taking part.

The charter guarantees that Activity Alliance will conduct research that has impact and meaning, is collaborative and inclusive. It also states ways in which the charity will communicate with those involved in research projects.

You can find an easy read version of the charter on the Activity Alliance website. A BSL version can be found on the Activity Alliance YouTube channel.
