This section is committed to ensuring that equity is incorporated across all
aspects of its development. In doing so it acknowledges and adopts the
following Sport England definition of sports equity:
Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising
inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture
and structure of sport to ensure it becomes equally accessible to everyone in
society.
The section respects the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will
treat everyone equally within the context of their sport, regardless of age,
ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or
social/economic status. The section is committed to everyone having the right
to enjoy their sport in an environment free from threat of intimidation,
harassment and abuse.
All section members have a responsibility to oppose discriminatory behaviour
and promote equality of opportunity. The section will deal with any incidence
of discriminatory behaviour seriously, according to club disciplinary
procedures.
