IT’S NOT EASY being one of the 70,000 volunteers at the 2012 London Olympics.
Before the games begin, all of them are being given ‘sensitivity training’ through a multiple-choice quiz, where they are asked how they would give directions to toilets if they cannot tell the difference between a man and woman (“panic” being one of the wrong answers), and speak to a disabled person, The Telegraph reports.
In a series of four-hour sessions at the Wembley Arena, volunteers were made to answer six ‘delicate’ questions on six topics: “age”, “belief”, “sexual orientation”, “ethnicity”, “gender”, and “disability”, which were reiterated in a take-home handbook.
