The Institute of Sports and Recreation Management (ISRM)
are the validating body for a number of professional
qualifications in the sport centre/leisure management field.
They produce a monthly magazine.
I have not done a disability awareness course with them but
did a two day course with Sport England (then the Sports
Council) on Sports Equity Management a few years ago and
this was really excellent. It covered the DDA in depth and
looked at a lot of other issues which were as equally
applicable outside of sports and recreation.
