Case Studies — Accessing Physical Education Courses

SQA recognises the importance of qualifications which are accessible to all and Courses in Physical Education have been designed to be as inclusive as possible to allow access to all candidates. We also recognise that while Courses can be designed to be as accessible as possible for all, there are often practical challenges in the delivery of the Course and assessment of candidates.

With this in mind and in order to promote the ways in which centres have delivered courses in Physical Education for physically disabled candidates we have produced four case studies. We hope these will provide examples of how good practice and showcase innovative approaches which will encourage you to make these courses more accessible.

We also hope that they will help to challenge any preconceptions and artificial barriers which could deny disabled candidates the opportunity to undertake courses in Physical Education.
