Active Essex and the NGBs are hopeful that this collaborative partnership will create meaningful high-quality learning and development; appropriate and considered policies, procedures and practices; inclusive targeted marketing and communications; and positive inclusive cultures across the sector.
The key areas of focus for the plan, is:
- Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI): Tackle barriers that lead to inequality in participation levels across different demographics.
- Safeguarding and Welfare: Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all participants is a top priority.
- People (Participants & Workforce): Support and develop both participants and the workforce to enhance their experience and performance.
- Facilities: Striving to ensure that high-quality, accessible facilities are available to all communities. This includes the use of community places and spaces for sport and activity.
How We Will Achieve This:
We want to articulate that we are committed to working across sport (not in silos) to tackle barriers that see such inequality in participation levels across different demographics. We will be doing this through:
- Meaningful, high-quality Learning & Development: Providing opportunities for continuous learning and development to enhance skills and knowledge.
- Appropriate, considered, and safe Policies, Procedures & Practices: Implementing policies and practices that ensure safety, inclusivity, and fairness.
- Inclusive, targeted Marketing & Communications: Using marketing and communication strategies that reach and engage diverse communities.
- Creating positive, inclusive cultures: Fostering environments where everyone feels welcome and valued.
