<p>Sport England has invested around £40 million to upgrade community sports facilities and make these accessible and welcoming facilities for disabled and non-disabled people alike of all ages. In addition, Sport England has published design principles to ensure that needs of all groups are considered at the design phase and good quality access is provided. In response to research on BME groups provided by Sporting Equals, Sport England are using the Bury Woman and Sport pilot project to try out new ways to overcome barriers to participation for Muslim women. These include women-only fitness sessions with no spectators, sessions delivered by women and adjusting the timings of sessions to be sensitive to prayer times.</p><p>The Department for Education is responsible for information on sporting and changing facilities within schools.</p>
