A day in a life of a Disability Sports Development Officer
Most of my meetings are national so if I am at a meeting it is always a full day with and often requires an overnight stay. Meetings can be with colleagues in the English Federation of Disability Sport, Sport England, a national governing body of sport or with a County Sport Partnership and are usually about what they are doing to support the inclusion of disabled people in clubs in their area.
When I’m in the office, I speak to key National Governing Body (NGB) contacts and club officers to see how I can support them. Disability sport clubs don’t get the same level of support that NGB affiliated clubs get and they vary a great deal in the type of sport / activity they offer so the queries are all very different. I also work with NGBs and other sport providers to encourage them to address inclusion at all levels of their sport, not just in their clubs.
