How many specialist sport facilities offer sports coaching to disabled people.

This Government in partnership with sportscotland and Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) positively support and encourage all sports facilities to be inclusive and promote participation in and coaching of disability sport as part of mainstream clubs and facilities.
Sportscotland and Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) do not collect or have data on the number of sports facilities that offer coaching to disabled people. However, sportscotland works in partnership with local authorities to provide Sports Coach UK workshops for coaching disability sports.
There were 11 “How to Coach Disabled People” workshops delivered in 2010-11, and in 2011-12. There have been eight delivered to date.
sportscotland plan to deliver a new workshop called “Inclusive Coaching: Disability” in October and January. SDS is also one of the sports on sportscotland’s Coaching Matters programme.
The sportscotland Institute of Sport currently supports 44 Scottish athletes all of whom are part of a GB Programme (who are all eligible to be selected for the Paralympic Games). Support is agreed in conjunction with the GB Programme and in consultation with SDS to ensure that the athlete receives what is most appropriate to them.
