Supporting those working in Sport
In Northern Ireland we rely
heavily on the work undertaken by a wide range of people within our sporting
system. Without these people - SDOs, administrators - coaches, leaders,
teachers, officials, club officers etc. there would not be as many opportunities
for people to get involved and stay involved in sport.
Clearly in order to develop
sporting opportunities and raise standards of performance, there is an ongoing
need for this work force to continually develop its knowledge and skills. This
will ensure the people involved to better manage the changes and increasing
demands that they face For example, child
protection, legislation, insurance litigation etc.
The junior club
development pack continues to act as the UK standard in this area and
underpins the club development and training programme delivered throughout the
country.
Running
sport courses, a programme
of training courses geared towards improving club management and administration.
Kids
First - the development and
delivery of a DENI initiated training course for primary school teachers,
coaches and sports development officers which seeks to develop an understanding
of the complimentary roles of PE and sport in schools.
Sports
Leadership training
Sport For All
Leader Award Scheme - a joint initiative between SCNI and the Irish Sports
Council designed to provide a panel of trained, knowledgeable and enthusiastic
community based sports leaders whose aim is to encourage more people to become
and remain involved in sport and physical activity.
In addition to training courses the Council manages 2 quality initiatives which
support people working in sport. These include:
