EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

The ACO is committed to equal opportunities and we welcome members with disabilities. We have had blind Cadets participating in activities including target shooting and adventure training; wheelchairs are no barrier to many of the pursuits available - we can get you abseiling! Help with dyslexia and other learning difficulties can be given to help Cadets pass the training syllabus levels. Each Squadron will do its utmost to ensure that as many people was possible can take advantage of the opportunities on offer.

It does need to be noted, however, that not all Squadrons are able to supply wheelchair access and that the physically and mentally challenging nature of some of our activities may exclude some from participating. This is down to purely practical and logistical problems. Each Squadron will have its own individual characteristics. We will do our best to try and overcome them but it is only fair to prospective and current members to state that membership may not be suitable for all and that there may be some things you will be unable to take part in. The Commanding Officer at your local Squadron will be very pleased to meet and discuss with you any concerns you may have and offer advice. Don't be put off from enquiring about joining, make contact and see what you can do.
