The first Level Playing Field Disability Access Officer forum brought together club staff from across sports.
Sessions at the bet365 Stadium, in Stoke, included discussions of policies, the support available to clubs and practical analysis of real-life case studies.
The event also included a panel where Level Playing Field’s chief executive, Owain Davies, was joined by David McArdle, director of equality diversity & inclusion at the EFL, and Ben Abberstein, senior EDI partner at the RFL.
Level Playing Field head of club relations and development, Daniel Townley, said: “We were very pleased to bring everyone together for what was a productive day of knowledge sharing and learning.
“Contributions from different club staff, with such a range of experiences brought so much to the event, and it was great to provide such a valuable networking opportunity.
“I would like to thank David McArdle and Ben Abberstein for their openness as panellists, and the team at Stoke City for hosting us.
“Following on from this forum, we will continue to provide online opportunities for club staff to come together and I would encourage anyone interested in finding out more to get in touch.”
