Equality Standard
Tyne & Wear Sport successfully achieved the Foundation Level of 'The Equality Standard - A Framework for Sport' in July 2007.
The standard is a framework for assisting sports organisations to widen access and reduce inequalities in sport and physical activity from under represented individuals, groups and communities; assisting organisations to develop structures and processes; and assess performance to ensure a continuous improvement approach to equality.
Ian Simon, Executive Director, stated: "I am delighted that the partnership has achieved the Foundation Level of the Equality Standard. This demonstrates our commitment to engaging, involving, promoting and developing people from all sectors in society as athletes, coaches, officials, administrators and leaders in sport. Achieving this accreditation has given us the opportunity to check and challenge our current practices to ensure that we are open to, and are successfully promoting sport to, all members of the community."
The UK Accreditation Panel highlighted the following strengths of Tyne & Wear Sport's work:
- There is extensive evidence of a central commitment to work on equality in all documents provided. The commitment is clearly and extensively evidenced, from Board to core meetings to wider partnership meetings. The budget and staffing commitment are evidence that this is central to the work of the partnership.
- A good range of approaches applied for contributing to the development of the policy.
- Good evidence of a range of research and analysis templates, findings and reports.
