Inclusive Sport: in-house training

Take advantage of the Inclusive Sport in-house webinar packages

From parks to podiums, sport and physical activity have the power to change both communities and lives.

As the sport and physical activity sector drives to improve the health and wellbeing of the Nation we need to empower colleagues to develop inclusive approaches and ensure that organisations live and breathe these values, so they are welcoming and open to all.

We have collated a suite of Inclusive Sport in-house webinars to provide a learning programme to help increase colleagues’ confidence and awareness of inclusion and diversity.

The term “neurodiversity” describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in different ways. There is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.

Birmingham 2022 was the first-ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men. 49% of athletes attending the Olympics in Tokyo were women, and 40.5% of athletes attending the Paralympics were women.

It’s not just on the international stage where we see such a diversity of ages, but also in classes, clubs, community centres, the countryside, and parks all around the country.

The passion for being active transcends age and generational boundaries. Nowadays, workforces are more likely than ever to be intergenerational, comprising of five generations working together. This is even more apparent in sport and Physical Activity, where staff, volunteers, officials, and coaches can be from such a broad spectrum of age groups.
