| dc.description | Ireland is renowned for its natural beauty, incredible landscapes, and breathtaking coastlines. Given
the nature and locations of the Irish landscape, which is often rugged and remote, accessing the great
outdoors and engaging in outdoor pursuits can present many challenges, particularly for people who
may have a range of disabilities.
Irish Wheelchair Association’s Sports Department in conjunction with Sport Ireland developed
the concept of designing and delivering outdoor access guidelines that could be used by various
organisations, that provide and manage facilities within the Great Outdoors. The Guidelines are funded
by the Dormant Accounts funding stream 2017.
The Great Outdoors - A guide for accessibility aims to provide organisations and land managers with
relevant guidance and information relating to accessible design, including, in some instances, the
provision of on-site supports that can be provided in order to make their specific environments more
available and accessible for people with a disability. The guide can also act as a support for future
service planning and in many instances can combine with an annual service plan on improving
accessibility within the outdoor environment. By following these guidelines it is anticipated that
there will be a significant increase in the opportunities for people with disabilities who wish to
become involved and active in outdoor locations and activities. It is important to consider the needs
and preferences of people who have a disability and consultation is required where change is being
proposed. | en |
