Inclusive Communications & Promotion
The inclusive communications document was designed by cara to ensure you are promoting your activities to everyone and that everyone can access the information you want to share. Here are some tips to help you achieve a more inclusive approach to communication and promotion in a variety of formats.
Disability Factsheets
The below factsheets have been developed by cara in consultation with key agencies with experience and knowledge in the specific areas. The information is provided for guidance only, allowing you to be more informed in your approach to being a more inclusive coach. No two people are the same, as such, please ensure your first step is to speak to the person – understand their abilities and goals and never assume.
