<p>The Government is committed to ensuring all spectators have enhanced and appropriate
access to sporting venues and services, and that professional sports clubs are aware
of their responsibilities towards disabled spectators.</p><p> </p><p>Many smaller
clubs struggle to meet even modest provisions for disabled access and raising the
bar even higher, while admirable, would be placing an unreasonable burden on those
clubs. The International Paralympic Committee’s guidance is there for clubs that want,
and can afford, to meet the highest standards on inclusion and accessibility, but
the <em>Accessible Stadia</em> guidance helps all clubs to meet the basic standard
in the first instance.</p><p> </p><p>As such, the Department for Culture, Media and
Sport is working with the Department of Work and Pensions on a range of measures to
ensure that the rights of disabled spectators are met by professional sports clubs.</p>
