Disability Initiatives Training
Xcessible Award
Clare Sports Partnership have achieved the Bronze Xcessible Award in 2021. We were one of 3 LSP’s and 3 NGB’s to deliver this pilot programme in 2020/2021.
Xcessible is a four staged resourced pathway designed to support an LSP or NGB in the area of Inclusion and will support them through the process of developing and increasing their capacity to support people with disabilities to be active in their sport in terms of participation, coaching, volunteering and officiating. Xcessible has been developed using the Sports Inclusion Disability Charter as a guiding tool. The LSP will be guided through each stage of the journey under the headings of Openness, People, Activities, Facilities and Promotion.
