Policies
Special requirements at YAA shoots
The YAA has researched its obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act and considered its responsibilites to disabled and able-bodied archers. The frequent difficulty in obtaining volunteers for work parties has been factored into the considerations. The following policies have been adopted:
For indoor competitions organised by the YAA, the disabled archer will be required to vacate the shooting line after shooting their arrows. If the disabled archer requires assistance in collecting and scoring their arrows this will be permitted, but it is up to the archer to arrange this assistance themselves.
For outdoor competitions organised by the YAA, if the Organiser is notified that the disabled archer requires to stay on the shooting line after shooting their arrows, this will be arranged by only allocating 3 archers to that particular target. If the disabled archer requires assistance in collecting and scoring their arrows this will be permitted, but it is up to the archer to arrange this assistance themselves.
