BDA Disabled Participation Survey

A copy of this e-mail has been sent to all EIBA Ltd correspondent contacts.

The Bowls Development Alliance (BDA) has today launched a nationwide survey regarding disability bowls to develop a greater understanding of the current and future opportunities that exist for disabled bowlers and which clubs currently have disabled bowlers using their facilities.

It would be of great assistance if you could complete this short survey via the link below on behalf of your club:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/playbowlsdisability

It will take no longer than 5 minutes to complete and you will be playing a big part in the development of the sport of bowls for disabled people.

The results of the survey will be shared widely in due course and any clubs who wish to secure assistance to develop their engagement with disabled bowlers, be it creating new sessions or enhancing current activity, have the opportunity to indicate this within the survey and will be contacted by the BDA within 5 working days of submitting their survey responses.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact Paul Humphreys, Development Manager of the BDA, on 07557 819569 or email paul@playbowls.org

Information for EIBA

The Results of the Survey will be collated by the BDA and shared with the EIBA and BE in due course.

In the meantime, as the EIBA is currently formulating its own Disabled Development Plans for the future, I should be obliged if you would send me an email with the following basic information:

Do you have any disabled bowlers using the playing facilities at your club? Yes/No

Of those disabled bowlers, how many would you say have each of the following impairments?

•	Vision. For example, due to blindness or visual impairment	– Number:
•	Hearing. For example, due to deafness or hard of hearing	– Number:
•	Physical impairment (either ambulent or wheelchair users)	– Number:
•	Learning or concentrating or remembering	– Number:
•	Mental Health problems	– Number:
•	Social or behavioural issues, for example, due to neurological diverse conditions such as Autism, Attention Deficit or Aspergers’ Syndrome	– Number:

I am happy to receive this information via Email message.

The BDA and EIBA look forward to hearing from you.
