Disability Awareness Training Day

Gain the knowledge and confidence to enable disabled people to take part in boating, feel welcome and to share in a passion for getting on the water.

Around 1 in 5 people have a disability so understanding the barriers that prevent people taking part is really important. Based on the social model of disability and using a number of scenarios, the course will give you:
A set of frameworks, principles and models to engage people so that they can be active and take part in boating

Ideas on identifying and removing barriers to participation

The confidence and skills to adopt a person-centred approach based on asking not assuming, listening and adapting, and delivering opportunities to get on the water and learning from them

Delivery of the course
An RYA Disability Awareness Instructor will deliver the course.
