Activity leaders shine spotlight on inclusion

Level two activity leadership students put together a ten-week programme of activities and sports, designed to cater for learners with disabilities and learning difficulties, ensuring their individual needs were met and the sports were accessible for all.

As part of their course, they are required to tailor sporting programmes for real clients and are assessed on this practical element of delivering the programme.

Foundation studies tutor Bridget Hos said: “My students have had an absolutely great time.

“During the first sessions they were understandably nervous, but I’ve watched them flourish over time. They’ve shown such an interest in sports in general now and have been so keen for each week’s activities.

“It’s been very rewarding to see their co-ordination skills improve as well as their general self-confidence. Some of the quieter members of the group who have struggled with communication have really advanced and I’m delighted to say it’s been a fantastic success.”
