Abstract
As part of the University of Northampton’s Access and Participation Plan (APP), the Sport and Exercise department has been working on breaking down barriers for under-represented and marginalised groups in education. In the APP report, these include: white working-class males; black; Asian and minority ethnic; mature; disabled; care leavers; service families; and intersections of disadvantage. The APP had a focus upon attainment, non-continuation, and access and progression to further employment or study.
This vignette focuses upon some of the work undertaken by the Breaking Down Barriers working group to consider what would make the experiences of Sport and Exercise learners more inclusive and relevant. In “thinking about” inclusion and inclusive practices, we decided to work with our learner representatives to gain an understanding of the barriers experienced in accessing learning, teaching, and assessment in Sport and Exercise.
