Get Involved in Inclusion Live Week 2026

Posted 5th December 2025

The Youth Sport Trust, under its Inclusion 2028 initiative, is launching Inclusion Live Week 2026: a free, fully online series of webinars from 26–30 January 2026 to help schools and the School Games network deliver truly inclusive PE, sport and physical activity for pupils with SEND.

What Inclusion 2028 delivers and why Inclusion Live Week matters

Inclusion 2028 was introduced to ensure that pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can access high-quality, inclusive physical education, school sport, and activity. It is delivered by the Youth Sport Trust together with partners including ParalympicsGB, Swim England, Activity Alliance, and nasen.

Inclusion Live Week is the main CPD and support offer for practitioners - ideal for PE leads, teachers, support staff, SENDCos, School Games Organisers, and club coaches looking to embed inclusive practice in their schools or settings.
