Policy and Strategic Planning

Policy and strategic planning are essential to creating effective sporting opportunities. We have extensive experience in supporting sports organisations in reviewing and developing policies, and undertaking strategic planning in areas such as:

Child Protection
Coaching
Community Sport
Equal Opportunities
Equity
Facility development
Governance
Operational Plans
Volunteering
Whole Sport Planning
Workforce/Human Resources

Our experience enables new policy developments to be based on good practice and a sound understanding of policy changes. We can provide a comprehensive review approach which can address an overall policy and/or specific policies.

Our development of strategic plans for sports organisations is based on tried and tested methodologies to support the development of organisational and theme specific strategic plans. Plans are developed to be realistic, specific, achievable and related to the broader agendas of 'developing sport for sport sake' or 'developing people through sport'. We can assist you with:

An assessment of your current situation
Options Appraisal
Development of a vision and/or mission statement
Setting of aims, goals and objectives
Detailed action planning
Implementation processes

'Sports Structures provided us with an excellent service, staff completed the requisite tasks on time and the end product was a fine document.

The authority will use the outcomes identified throughout the strategic development process to direct the future sport and recreation service in line with partner and corporate objectives and outcomes.'
