<p>Our Sports Strategy sends a clear message to all sports that sports stadia should
provide an inclusive environment that welcomes all spectators. While the spotlight
on accessibility is rightly on football, we want all sports to ensure they fulfil
their legal obligations towards disabled fans. We will be looking to other sports
to follow football’s example, to ensure disabled spectators receive the legal requirements
that they are entitled to.</p><p> </p><p>Ensuring sport is inclusive and accessible
for spectators remains a priority, and I want to continue to see concerted action
taken by clubs to fulfil their legal obligations towards disabled supporters. The
Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is the regulatory body responsible for
enforcing the Equality Act 2010 The EHRC has powers to ensure service providers, including
sports stadia, fulfil their legal obligations under the Act.</p>
