Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) Level 1 Staff Training Course – NSF Sites
The Level 1 course in Disability Equality aims to equip staff with the confidence and knowledge to effectively cater for disabled users.
For those who have obtained funding through the National Sports Foundation programme, Level 1 Courses are currently provided free of charge. At the first site visit the IFI Project Coordinator agrees the number of courses to be held at each facility depending on the number of staff employed there. The IFI Project Administrator is then responsible for liaising with each Applicant Facility and the Training Provider to identify mutually convenient dates for the delivery of the agreed number of courses at the Applicant Facility.
Level 1 Courses are one-day Courses usually delivered at the Applicant Facility. Should no suitable room be available on-site an alternative venue may be agreed with the Project Administrator.
Applicant facilities will be required to liaise with site staff to ensure their attendance and that as many staff as possible attends the Level 1 Course.
