England Athletics

To develop best practice in deaf and disability athletics

England Athletics are making a firm commitment to support and develop athletics opportunities for people with disabilities.

Within the England Athletics framework of club and coach development we are looking to develop best practice in disability athletics through the integration of inclusive practice into our core programmes.  This will be aimed at clubs and coaches including the Local and National Coach Development Programme, Flying Coaches and the McCain Athletics Networks.

We are also seeking to influence the development of inclusive practice within competition both within England Athletics and other competition providers. 
 

Staff

In addition to the core CCSO team we have a network of dedicated staff in place.
