Disability Pathways

(Inc. MSC, Multi Sport Disability Clubs, Identifying Ability Days and Competition)

The aim of the programme is to establish a network of 450 Multi-Sport Disability Clubs across SSPs. These clubs will offer a club sport experience to all young disabled pupils who are not able or do not wish to access inclusive provision. The programme will also connect to interventions which collectively aim to support the achievement of the 5 Hour Offer for young disabled people and ensure that those with a higher level of ability are identified and able to access a talent pathway. The four interventions are as follows:

• Multi-Skill Inclusion training to support the provision of fully inclusive Multi-Skills Clubs which offer competitive opportunities to those who want them.
• Training, resources and funding to support the establishment of a pan-disability Multi- Sport Disability Club
• Resources and funding to support the delivery of Ability Identification Days which promote the identification of talented young disabled people and their signposting on to County Assessment Centres delivered by CSPs

The programme will be rolled out in phases with partnerships being identified through “readiness factors”. By 2011, it is hoped that there will be a national network of Multi-Sport Disability Clubs.
