Accessible Technology to Make Live Sport Inclusive for All

Lodged by Michael Marra (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the transformative impact that accessible technology and inclusive practices can have in opening up live sport to people with visual impairments; welcomes recent developments that have enabled visually impaired football supporters to experience matches visually for the first time, including through the use of specialist vision-enhancing headsets; notes the experience of lifelong Dundee United supporter, Jon Attenborough, who, after almost two decades of attending matches, was able to see his team, players and United's ground, Tannadice Park, for the first time through assistive technology; recognises the work of GiveVison; commends football clubs, innovators and fundraisers working to remove barriers to participation, and calls for continued efforts to ensure that live sport is inclusive and accessible for all.
