Sport Structures - Sport Education and Training
As experts in training with a long-standing commitment to EDI in the sport and physical activity sector, we offer a range of training solutions to support the industry.
We don't just cover the Equality Act as other training providers do; we delve deeper into the underlying reasons why equality training is essential for increasing participation within marginalised communities. Our two workshops equip you and your organisation with practical solutions to learn how to work effectively with underrepresented groups and individuals. We will seek to bring in the lived experiences of those communities to help you develop a more sensitive and inclusive approach.
These workshops are ideal for National Governing Bodies, Active Partnerships, National Sports Organisations and any other sports-based organisations wishing to address inequality through sport. Our Making Sports Organisations equitable is completely mapped to the professional Standard “ Working with Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Communities”.
