A collaboration between the Centre for Child and Adolescent Physical Literacy and the Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society, Leeds Beckett University

Join colleagues from the Centre for Child and Adolescent Physical Literacy and the Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society at Leeds Beckett University for an engaging pre-conference event ahead of the Association for Physical Education (AfPE) Annual Conference.

This afternoon event brings together leading researchers and practitioners to learn, share and discuss ways of supporting happier and healthier children and young people through Physical Education. Through research-informed discussion and practical application, participants will explore how PE can positively influence wellbeing, engagement and lifelong participation in physical activity.

The event features two parallel strands: Physical Literacy Enactment in Schools and Trauma-Informed PE information, both designed to support professional learning and practical implementation within school and sport contexts (for more information on what these two strands consist of, please refer to the "More Info" tab).

Leeds Business School and the Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society at Leeds Beckett University invite colleagues and practitioners across sport, governance, policy and research to join a one-day symposium exploring disability inclusion within sporting workforces and leadership structures.

Taking place on Wednesday 3 June 2026 at the Rose Bowl, Leeds Beckett University, this one-day event brings together leaders from sport organisations, governing bodies, advocacy groups and academia to explore how the sector can strengthen disability inclusion across its workforce and leadership structures.

Hosted by the Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society, the summit draws on research examining the lived experiences of disabled professionals working across managerial and governance roles within sport. The event will also introduce the Centre’s Belonging in Sport Framework, supporting organisations in creating environments where disabled staff feel valued and supported.

Further details and registration information will be circulated shortly.

We look forward to welcoming colleagues from across the sport sector to Leeds for what promises to be an engaging and impactful day focused on strengthening disability inclusion across sporting workforces and leadership structures.
