The CARA Adapted Physical Activity Centre is committed to leading, coordinating and supporting developments in Adapted Physical Activity, Adapted Physical Education and Disability Sport.

Through funding from the Institute of Technology, CARA employed a National Training and Education Officer in March 2011 to help fulfil this aim.

CARA has taken a lead role in coordinating national agencies to develop a National Training & Education Framework for inclusive physical activity, sport and physical education.

The purpose of the training and education framework is to highlight the opportunities for the development of standardised training and education programmes in Ireland. The National Training and Education working group has been formed to steer and implement the framework and support coordination, facilitation, development and promotion of cost effective training and education in the following strands.

•            Undergraduate college courses

•            Current primary teachers and PE teachers

•            Leisure industry professionals

•            Coaches

•            Instructors and volunteers

 

The Training and Education Working Group consist of representatives from the following agencies:

 

The National Training and Education working group will also consult with experts in the areas of each of the five target strands. CARA is constantly reviewing membership on this working group to ensure it reflects all agencies and groups currently involved in the development and delivery of training on inclusion. This standardised approach to inclusion training will consist of trained tutors, standardised resources, evaluation of delivery and opportunities for accreditation within Institutes of Further Education.
