Many thanks for your post. The Club doesn't have a Disabilities Officer but we train all our staff on Equality and Diversity and actively support diversity within the Club. If there are any specific areas that are not being met then every member is empowered to air their views and write into the Club. We would then look at each concern raised, respond and look at any practicably possible adjustments.
We have disabled facilities at all our sites with toilet blocks, we comply to the design standards, but are always looking for feedback to improve what we offer. An example of this is utilising the matting for motorhomes for wheelchair users.
Please send us any feedback to our Club Sites team: UKSitesBookingService@camc.com

Just to shed more light on this, I had lunch today with a friend who works in a school for children with special needs so I asked if they had a Disability Officer. I was advised they have a SENCO (Special Needs Co-ordinating Officer) I guess this is the correct title for the Disability Officer referred to by the OP. This is someone trained to ensure individual needs are met. There may well be such people in other schools which accept children with special needs but these are most likely to be teachers who fulfil the role on a part time basis.

Good post PD👍🏻. I think it makes a lot of sense the whole DO thing in schools as there is someone batting for the less able👍🏻

On seasonal sites (the majority) taps are normally removed when the water supply is turned off to service points ,and when the supply is turned on again and the service point taps are replaced, the plumber carring out the work would have to work to the local water authorities latest regulations,

I believe the latest designation is actually SENDCO (special educational needs and disability coordinator!) They do a crucial job in schools which are becoming ever and ever more stretched in dealing with such pupils due to swingeing cuts in the numbers of Teaching Assistants over the past few years.
I only know this because Mrs M has been exchanging emails with the SENDCO at one of our local primary schools where she is going to be taking Lady in to help with their "Reading to Dogs" scheme.

Fully correct M
Also it is usually a member of the senior team like a deputy head , or it is at my primary.
As you say a very responsible and important job with more and pupils needing their help. Time consuming too with all the duties within and without the school.
