Equality

National Governing Bodies are now working within the framework of the Equality Standard which is designed to ‘assist organisations in developing structures and processes, assessing performance and ensuring continuous improvement in equality’. This section of the Members Area has been designed to support those working towards the Standards by providing a series of templates for organisations to tailor to their individual needs and also by signposting existing examples of good-practice within sport and links to websites where additional information is readily available.
