Canoeing Ireland is committed to becoming a more inclusive organisation for all and so, we have now added a new Accessibility Toolbar on our website! ‘Recite Me’ is innovative cloud based software that lets visitors to our website view and use it in the way that works best for them.
We will be developing the accessibility information on our website in the coming months so that people of all abilities can find the information they need on paddlesports through our website. We would like to remind all member organisations and clubs that we have committed to the Cara Charter (Sport Inclusion Ireland), and encourage all affiliated clubs and organisations to do the same. The benefits are:
- People with varied abilities can identify your club/facility as being open to people with additional needs.
- Cara will provide you with support, resources and advice on inclusivity
- It costs nothing, and takes less than 10 minutes to sign up!
Find out more and sign up to the Cara Charter here: Sport Inclusion Disability Charter | Cara (caracentre.ie)
The new accessibility tools can be found through the yellow ‘Accessibility Tools’ button on the top of every page on canoe.ie. For more information on the tool available see our guide on the new Accessibility Tools available.
These tools are also all available on our new entry level website getirelandpaddling.ie to ensure all those getting started in paddlesports for their first time can get the best safety information in the most accessible way.
