3. Background information In July 2006 The British Paralympic Association (BPA), UK Sport, Youth Sport Trust and Sport England commissioned the development of a framework for athletes with a disability to achieve their potential Shortly after the announcement for London 2012 Shortly after the announcement for London 2012

4. Background information � the Need !!!! Previous lack of guidance around appropriate opportunities, for sports participation for people with a disability Perceived gap within Paralympic Team GB as established athletes retired Lack of clarity especially around pathways for emerging athletes to represent Team GB at 2012 Paralympic Games Research has found that not enough athletes are coming up from local or regional based competitions to engage with performance environments, clubs and squads. Also a significant level of adults who come into disability late in life, are not being provided with information that would enable them to participate in sport. Retiring team and no established pathways Essential if Team GB is to perform well at our home games we need to do something Research has found that not enough athletes are coming up from local or regional based competitions to engage with performance environments, clubs and squads. Also a significant level of adults who come into disability late in life, are not being provided with information that would enable them to participate in sport. Retiring team and no established pathways Essential if Team GB is to perform well at our home games we need to do something

5. The Strategy for Delivery What is the Framework A Performance Pathway for Disabled athletes toward the London 2012 Summer Paralympic Games Guided by whom Youth Sport Trust - Schools (schools sports partnerships and specialist schools) Sport England - Community (after schools clubs, clubs, disability networks), SCuK NGBs & Sport Specific delivery (perf & high quality environments) coaching, Regional Squads & Competition links to other NGB funding External networks - HE/FE (Facilities, mentoring) Health - adult identification UK Sport - National squads through the National Competition Framework These Delivery System key partners at strategic national level Following consultation with a wide range of partners and a review of existing programmes and initiatives, a framework has been developed to enhance existing player pathways and provide increased opportunities in sport for disabled participants. The Framework incorporates pathways for disability sport from Schools (schools sports partnerships and specialist schools) led by Youth Sport Trust and the Community (after schools clubs, HE/FE and adult identification through health related networks) led by Sport England. Linking into this are the player and performance pathways from NGBs providing performance environments and high quality coaching (some Club and Coach Funding projects) for identified talented participants to enter County, Regional and National squads through the National Competition Framework delivered in conjunction with UK Sport.These Delivery System key partners at strategic national level Following consultation with a wide range of partners and a review of existing programmes and initiatives, a framework has been developed to enhance existing player pathways and provide increased opportunities in sport for disabled participants.

6. This is the Framework � you have a copy Point out different aspects of different organisations Emphasis on the age of participants Said looking at a talent pathway boost 2012 team � if this is so have 4 years to do this Therefore are we looking at participants at the higher ages groups for 2012 and the lower age groups for sustainability This is the Framework � you have a copy Point out different aspects of different organisations Emphasis on the age of participants Said looking at a talent pathway boost 2012 team � if this is so have 4 years to do this Therefore are we looking at participants at the higher ages groups for 2012 and the lower age groups for sustainability

7. The Challenge of the Framework � national figures Emphasis the are national figures for three years Sport England we are working on a formula to split these figures make it fair across England From Sport England's view point our targets bring issues complicated by the fact have young people coming from YST Adults from outside communities Emphasis the are national figures for three years Sport England we are working on a formula to split these figures make it fair across England From Sport England's view point our targets bring issues complicated by the fact have young people coming from YST Adults from outside communities

8. Not just Participants � there has to additionality Coaching Volunteering Officiating Creating good quality opportunities Creating good quality facilities Sharing best practise Linking into these opportunities � IFI, NGB event, LA events, HE/FE Framework becomes a Co-ordinated Participation Pathway Recognised that the Framework can not by just a talent pathway Natural drop of participant who don�t want to progress or who can not progress But we need to cope with the demand being created by the framework Support for the athletes � C,V, O Facilities � IFI Cost � Sports Aid and other charities Networks already exist � share best practise Emphasis Red text !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Recognised that the Framework can not by just a talent pathway Natural drop of participant who don�t want to progress or who can not progress But we need to cope with the demand being created by the framework Support for the athletes � C,V, O Facilities � IFI Cost � Sports Aid and other charities Networks already exist � share best practise Emphasis Red text !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. We can not fulfil our ambitions working our own - Key Delivery Agents WE need to work in Partnerships Within the Sporting Community - Delivery System for Sport Outside the Sporting community � Health Sector, Benefits Distributors (incapacity benefit) Care Services, Community Groups Disability networks HE/FE Said this at the beginning and to reiterate Delivery system of Sport � who is basically running the program with extended partners We need to work as a team We need to work in partnership We need to increase communication networks Said this at the beginning and to reiterate Delivery system of Sport � who is basically running the program with extended partners We need to work as a team We need to work in partnership We need to increase communication networks

From SSP to County Athlete Assessment & Development Centres From the multi skills and sports a minimum of 10 young disabled people per School Sport Partnership will be identified as demonstrating higher ability in generic skills and recommended to attend the County Athlete Assessment Centres. An additional 5 from Key Stage 2/3 who have demonstrated ability in aquatics will be directed to the appropriate ASA development programmes. Of the identified young people, a minimum of 70% will have a physical or sensory impairment. To run effect CAADC restriction or min on numbers coming from schools � in line with target set discussed before There is an expectation from the Framework that because it is driving at 2012 Summer Paralympics Games � 70% young people coming from the SSP will have Phy / Sensory impairment (huge task) Challenge for the Delivery system to deliver against the target but also cater for whole of the disability community � Challenge we are current working toward with work we are doing with FDSO � increase in staff (4x CSP) 2X Regional Dev Officers � Deaf and LD�.
