Contemporary policies and practices in physical education and sport will be analysed. Specific strategies for developing inclusive practice in a physical education and sport setting will be introduced. |
Indicative Syllabus | The module will introduce and examine the concept of inclusive physical activity and the responsibility of practitioners to provide physical activity programmes that meet the needs of all individuals.
