DRUK want to hear about your experiences of using fitness facilities!

Do you have a New Year’s fitness resolution? Are you concerned about whether you can access your local gym and fitness facilities? Does your local facility get behind accessibility in a way you want to cheer about?

Share your experiences of using fitness facilities with us before Friday 10 January.

DRUK is working with Love Productions which is producing a Channel 4 primetime programme on health and wellness.

Your data will be treated anonymously and this will help DRUK get a clearer picture of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to accessible fitness.

Calling all qualified PE teachers!

Survey for Quaified PE Teachers on Inclusion
News, , ,

Survey by Teesside University – An investigation into the inclusion of disabled children and young people in PE in England.

Calling all qualified PE teachers – Please spare 5 minutes to complete a survey on the inclusion of disabled children and young people in PE in England.

The aim of this study is to investigate the suitability of initial teacher training (ITT) for the inclusion of disabled children and young people in Physical Education (PE) in England (at both primary and secondary levels).

I have contacted Dr Tom Gibbons, Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise, Teesside University to expand on the barriers and obstacles preventing blind and partially sighted children taking part in activities in main stream schools.

Yesterday I attended the Visual Impairment, Sport and Physical Activity Workshop at the University of Central Lancashire based in Preston along with other universities, occupational therapists and national governing bodies of sport.

Happy to share the outcome of yesterday’s meeting, the group plan to meet again in 6 months’ time and apply for future grants.
