Cumbria Sport Setting the Standard for Equality in Sport

29th April 2007

The launch of a new policy in the Cumbria Sport Partnership has led to a series of training courses being organised across Cumbria.

The new policy 'Cumbria Sport Partnership Equality Policy 2007 - 2010' is about equality and fairness in sport and physical activity. It recognises that inequalities exist that can prevent people from participating, and advocates addressing the balance so that ultimately more people have the opportunity to enjoy sport and physical activity.

The training courses, organised by Cumbria Sport Partnership are aimed at volunteers, coaches, officials and administrators from sports organisations and local clubs, to help increase the awareness and understanding in an effort to ensure that such clubs and coaching sessions are truly open to all, including disabled people.
