Supporting the sports sectorIn 2010, we carried out intensive research to understand our partners’ needs for oursupport. This began with asking Naonal Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) and CountySports Partnerships (CSPs). The results were vital to our vision to encourage disabled peopleto be acve at all levels. It helped us to give sports organisaons the right support neededwhen developing targets for disabled people in sport. In turn, we hope this will increaseparcipaon and provide more opportunies in sport for disabled people.During the financial year we organised NGBs into set levels of service. Level one receivingthe greatest level of advice and support over a period of me. We focused our aenon onacon plans with the sports to ensure their programmes included disabled people in thebest possible way.This meant providing key relaonship managers for the sports- in order for the requiredone-to-one support. Common needs have been advice on terminology, bespoke trainingand promong opportunies to disabled people.In March 2011 we organised an NGB workshop. Sixteen sports were represented as well asCSPs, local authories and the third sector to take part in interacve sessions. Drawing onboth the personal and professional experse of disabled people working in the sector, theday focused on idenfying real praccal soluons to remove the praccal and theatudinal barriers in sport.The delegate feedback indicated the workshop would have an immediate impact on theirwork within their own NGBs. We aim to use this posive response to connue providingthis sort of service.
13Case study on swimming supportAs part of the on-going relaonship with Amateur Swimming Associaon (ASA),EFDS looked at ASA disability membership stascs to assist them in comparingthem against the Acve People Survey findings and highlight key areas to target forimprovement.We also worked with the ASA and Instute of Swimming in 2010 to develop thecontent for the online Disability Swimming Awareness Training Course- aimed atteachers, coaches, volunteers. This course was developed, approved and promotedthrough EFDS networks. It resulted in over 758 people compleng the course and inturn being adopted by Swim21.EFDS worked with Brish Swimming facilies to incorporate the EFDS’s InclusiveFitness Iniave- within their new swimming facilies accreditaon, which will berolled out later in 2011.In addion to the partnership with ASA, Brish Swimming have developed andsigned off a compeon framework in the hope of transferring responsibility fromEFDS Events to Brish Swimming to deliver the naonal swimming championshipsinthe long term future.
