UK Sport unveiled on Wednesday the line-up of its new Paralympic Performance Panel, designed to help individual sports reach their challenging performance targets on the road to the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The Paralympic Panel complements the line up already announced for Olympic sports, with both groups set to take up their duties this Autumn.
Chaired by CEO John Steele, and meeting quarterly, the Panel’s task is to provide objective assessment of each sport’s progress against its performance ambitions, as well as expert advice, to help the sports remain on track. The information will be published quarterly on a sport by sport basis.
Details of the Paralympic Panel membership and how UK Sport’s Mission 2012 process will work were presented to a meeting of Summer Paralympic National Governing Bodies (NGBs) held today in London. John Steele, UK Sport’s Chief Executive, explained:
“We will be measuring sports against three key criteria that centre around their performances on the field of play and the quality of support and governance they provide off it. Where things are not as they should be, our Performance expertise will be coupled with some of best thinking that Paralympic sport has to offer to find creative solutions to issues that threaten to have an adverse impact on performance in five years time.”
