title: Sporting for people  with a learning disability.
abstract: The 2012 Olympic Games in London have been raising awareness nationally about the importance of sport for everyone in the population (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Ltd, 2007), reminding us of the message delivered by the Department of Health's (DH) White Paper, Our health, our care, our say (DH, 2006), which placed an emphasis on the importance of prevention of ill health through healthy living.
