What is your role within Equality and Diversity?
 |
Cumbria Sport Partnership is providing a platform for sports equity and diversity across the county within the public, private and voluntary sectors. However, as The Equality Standard: A Framework for Sport points out, supportive noises are not enough on their own. We all have a role to play in leveling the playing field and improving the pathways into sport for those that remain socially excluded, we therefore implore you to take action.
Whether a volunteer, coaching professional, local business or public service officer, you can make a positive difference by embracing equality & diversity;
Increase the number of participants, members, coaches, officials, spectators and volunteers by reaching new audiences.
§ Enhance the skills and knowledge base of staff, members and volunteers.
§ Help meet legal duties thereby reducing the likelihood of litigation.
§ Ensure democracy and the sound governance.
§ Improve chances of accessing funding and sponsorship.
§ Improve quality of service.
