UK Deaf Sport Training Programme

UK Deaf Sport aims to enable Deaf people to reach their full potential in sport. They work to increase opportunties by working in partnership with key organisations to create a sporting future from grasroots through to elite level sport.

The organisation has decided to build a new training programme for the staff and volunteer workforce that provides sport for deaf and hard of hearing people acrss the UK. So we were excited when our team at Deaf & Hearing Trailbalzers was asked to carry out a training needs analysis with a select number of National Deaf Sport Organisations and National Governing Bodies. Following on from this, we are delighted to be working together with UK Deaf Sport and our training delivery partners UK Coaching and Sport Structures  to deliver a programme of workshops has been created to provide the information that will enable Deaf sport organisations to work towards achieving Tier 1 of the Code of Governance for Sport.

Running from June through to September 2023, with funding from Sport England, the training will cover safeguarding, risk assessment, legal structures, volunteer recruitment and support, financial sustainablity, marketing strategies and planning for the future.
