📝 Microsoft Bookings – Making Scheduling Easy
Microsoft Bookings is the tool we use to make scheduling simple and professional. It allows clubs, schools, councils, and community partners to easily book time with you without the back-and-forth of emails or phone calls.
Why We Use Bookings
- Accessibility – partners can see your availability and book a time that works for them.
- Efficiency – reduces time spent on scheduling and avoids double bookings.
- Professionalism – provides a consistent, easy-to-use system for everyone engaging with Sport4All.
Using Bookings as an Inclusion Coach
- Set your availability – keep your calendar up to date so Bookings reflects when you are free.
- Share your link – when engaging with a club or school, direct them to your Bookings link instead of sending multiple options.
- Confirm and prepare – once a booking is made, you’ll receive a notification in Outlook/Teams. Use this to prepare in advance.
- Respect boundaries – Bookings helps you manage your time by only showing the windows you’ve set aside for meetings.
Practical Example
A school wants to meet with you about running an Inclusion Sports Day. Instead of emailing back and forth, you send them your Bookings link. They choose a time that suits them, it automatically appears in your calendar, and you’re both ready to go.
