Equal Opportunities

Body Text

It is recommended that all clubs and organisations produce an equal opportunities policy and most importantly ensure that the policy is put into practice.

 

Sports Equity is “The reduction and removal of ‘barriers’ to participation,
including disability, gender, ethnicity, poverty and age”.

An equity statement (see Resources side panel for template) demonstrates your club’s commitment to equality of opportunity.  It should be included in the club’s constitution, and as a useful reminder for everyone, your equity statement could be included in club handbooks and newsletters.

 

The Equal Opportunities Policy sets out in more practical terms the steps you intend to take to ensure that the equity statement is implemented, and may also show who is responsible for the various actions.

 

There is also a good practice guide to Making Women and Girls More Active in Sport.
