The Youth Sport Trust have announced the release of the School Games SEND Inclusion Toolkit [18 pages - pdf].
It has been designed to raise awareness of the importance of inclusion within sport and physical activity through education of each Special Educational Need and/or Disability (SEND).
The toolkit provides top tips on how to provide impairment-specific support and includes signposting to opportunities to upskill knowledge further. This new resource will support both School Games Organisers as well as educational practitioners seeking continual professional development in inclusive school sport practice.
This new SEND Inclusion Toolkit has been developed in partnership with the seven National Disability Sport Organisations (NDSOs):
- British Blind Sport
- CP Sport
- UK Deaf Sport
- Dwarf Sports Association
- WheelPower
- LimbPower
- Special Olympics Great Britain
The toolkit is organised by impairment with Key Facts, Top Tips and where to go for more information included in each chapter.
