Wednesday 18th November 2020

Inclusive outdoors

Participants will receive an email with the link and access details in advance of the session.

Topics to be covered and discussed:

Attitudes towards disability in the outdoors have changed very significantly in recent years with development of the GB paraclimbing team, media presence, Climbing for All course and the Indoor Climbing Assistant which enables a disabled person to gain an NGB.

The first hour of this session will focus on how we view a person with a disability and how much this can impact on opportunities. The second hour will be advice on engaging disabled people into activities and understanding & simplifying paperwork to reduce administrative barriers to access but maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment. 

Equipment

Access to the session through Zoom software via laptop/tablet or phone.
