Duty of Care for Each Special Population Group: Level 2 Fitness Worksheet Simplified

What is the Duty of Care for each specialist population group?

Duty of care is referring to the action that you need to make to ensure you are taking responsibility for the care for special population clients.

You need to make it clear WHO has duty of care over the person in question, for example, a parent/ guardian has Duty of Care over the 14 -16-year-old clients.

What are the Limitations of a fitness professional?

This refers to what you can and cannot do as a level 2 instructor when you don’t have any additional specialist qualifications.

You need to state the capacity in which you can work with these clients without any extra qualifications

For example, when working with disabilities you can’t focus on rehab or class yourself as a specialist, but you can adapt health-related exercise programs for those with disabilities.

How to answer the question in your own words?

Make sure you offer the right amount of information to fulfil the marks required.

The above video outlines everything you need to complete this worksheet question, using the Active IQ Level 2 Fitness Instructor LAP. However this may vary for other awarding bodies, new syllabus and different training providers, so read the question carefully.
