INSTRUCTORS – DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT

 

Although sport & leisure providers have always had a social & moral responsibility to include people with disabilities in their programmes, the gradual introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) since 1995, means that sport and leisure providers including governing body and clubs now have a clear legal responsibility to fully include people with disabilities in facilities & programmes.

 

  • What would you do if a person with a disability arrived to participate in your class?
  • Under the DDA you might be breaking the law if you turn them away.
  • Would you know how to cope with this situation?
  • Fitness Northern Ireland are organising a disability awareness workshop.
