Government releases first ever physical activity guidance for disabled children

The UK’s Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) have released the first ever guidance on physical activity for children and young people with disabilities, aiming to improve their physical and mental health.

The guidance is based on research by Durham University, the University of Bristol and Disability Rights UK which found that regular exercise is equally beneficial for disabled children as non-disabled children aged between two- and 17-years-old.
