Disability Equality Training: Leisure Service Providers (LSP)

Within the sport and leisure industry we all have a duty to ensure that there is access and equitable provision of opportunity to all individuals within our community. This brand new workshop is therefore intended to provide leisure staff with an enhanced level of knowledge regarding equality, and create the opportunity to apply that information and knowledge to the specific work environment (whether as a centre receptionist, fitness advisor, cleaner, catering staff, centre manager, pool lifeguard, etc).

The workshop will be a mixture of group discussions, provision of relevant and useful information, and the practical application of relevant and appropriate examples. Specific scenarios have been developed to stimulate discussion, highlight particular concerns expressed by centre / facility staff and disabled customers alike, and adopt a problem solving approach to the issues.

The workshop includes the following areas:
1. Perceptions and experiences
2. Terminology
3. Legislation
4. Barriers to participation
5. Opportunities for participation

At the end of this workshop you should be much more aware of barriers that may be encountered by disabled people, and how you can work together with colleagues, and customers to overcome them.
