Social Department

The Ministry of Welfare conducts a survey on the involvement of persons with disabilities in sport and sporting/physical activity. The survey will be available by the end of September 2019.
Article 30(5) OF THE UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities establishes the right of persons with disabilities to participate in recreational, leisure and sporting events. The results of this survey will help the Welfare Ministry and others to assess the extent to which people with disabilities or engage in sporting/physical activities and draw conclusions on the real situation of the article in the country.
Similarly, the results of the survey will help to determine what improvements are needed so that people with disabilities can obtain information about the opportunities for their own sport in the country and in their municipality.
The survey is anonymous and will be used only in aggregated form. We ask for children and adults with disabilities to participate in the survey. Thank you very much for your responsiveness.
