Countryside Recreation Network / Countryside for All Forum - Joint Workshop
Accessible Outdoors
Outdoor access for disabled people
Target Audience:
The seminar is aimed at government agency, local authority and NGO staff and volunteers involved in developing and promoting outdoor access for all,
with particular reference to disabled people.
Wednesday 26 May 2010
Centre in the Park at Norfolk Heritage Park, Sheffield
There are 50 places available for this seminar
Delegate Fee: £150 (student discount available)
Aims of the event:
This aims of this workshop are to:
- Exchange good practice in improving access and information
regarding outdoor recreation for disabled people;
- Identify priority issues and areas of work to be taken
forward over the next few years.
It is hoped that the workshop will stimulate innovative ideas and ways of thinking to raise awareness of and participation in outdoor recreation activities by disabled people. The workshop will address all forms of disability - including physical, sensory and mental impairment
Background:
Outdoor recreation organisations have been working for many years to improve access to their sites and pathways for disabled people. There is no doubt that guidance developed through initiatives such as the Countryside for All Standards and By All Reasonable Means have lead to real improvements in access to the outdoors for disabled people. In recent years a further impetus for improving access has come about following the implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act 2005, which imposed duties on organisations to promote equality for disabled people in terms of
employment and service delivery. However much more remains to be done,
particularly in terms of addressing the full range of disabilities and in providing better information regarding access availability and condition.
Workshop format:
3 rotating workshop sessions, giving each delegate an opportunity to participate in 2 of them.
Each workshop to be introduced by a short good practice presentation from speakers (c.20 minutes), explaining how they have tackled issues related to their project. Each workshop to have a rapporteur (nominated beforehand) to report at the Feedback session in the afternoon. (There will therefore be 6 report-backs at the Feedback session.) Each rapporteur to report back in Feedback session with (1) 2 examples of innovative good practice arising from the project; (2) 2 significant issues / challenges / opportunities to be addressed / taken forward by outdoor recreation providers / agencies over the coming years.
Workshop topics:-
(1) Catering for people with learning difficulties at outdoor
recreation sites
(2) Good practice in Heritage Lottery-funded projects - Tony
Crosby (Heritage Lottery Fund)
(3) Good practice in site management for a range of
disabilities
