Children with disabilities excluded from play due to inaccessible playgrounds

New research reveals children with disabilities are locked out of playgrounds.

Half of parents surveyed say their child is excluded from play due to playgrounds being inaccessible to them.

Parents of children with physical disabilities whose child wants to visit a playground are travelling an average of 5.37 miles from their homes to reach a suitable play area.
