EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION:
Our strategy is grounded in the need to work with those individuals, groups and communities whose engagement with sport and physical activity is disproportionately lower, and then to actively address those inequalities. To do this needs insight, knowledge, understanding and experience of the barriers these groups face. Therefore we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds across the country.
