Below are some notes from the 2014 Buzz Group session at TABS conference - thoughts / comments?
• It would be helpful for schemes to be able to link with local all-ability cycling organisations, such as Wheels for Wellbeing
• There are a significant number of young people with specific needs who are in mainstream schools
• Mountbatten School have developed a Saturday morning disability club, where Level 2 is delivered to both children and parents as a family
• The need for specialist equipment can be a barrier to participation, and schemes need help with sourcing providers of adaptive bikes
• A change in the instructor ratios is needed for young people with particular needs, as well as adjustments to delivery (eg getting on and off the pavement)
• It also takes longer to deliver training if all the young people in the group have a disability, so session timings need to be adjusted
• It would be helpful for schemes to have more ideas about things to do when a child turns up without a bike, or an unroadworthy bike, or one that is not fitted properly (eg sharing bikes, getting them involved in the session in another way)
• One scheme highlighted that it is ok for schemes who are running all-ability training, to use the £40 per head funding to deliver it as “working towards” Level 2
• It is possible to train young people on the road on trikes

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
