OUR VISION IS AN ACTIVE SCOTLAND WHERE EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM SPORT
OUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION UNDERPINS EVERYTHING WE DO
OUR SYSTEM
NEW IDEAS
We build systems that are inclusive by design and target provision for under-represented and excluded groups.
We experiment and co-produce new approaches with under-represented and excluded groups that respond to their needs.
OUR PEOPLE
We create greater workforce diversity at all levels and the contributions of everyone are valued.
Our people
- We will lead by example by embedding EDI in recruitment, support and development of “our people”.
- We will learn more about our culture and people’s experiences.
- We will support our staff and networks to learn more about how to make inclusive decisions.
Our system
- We will shift our equality work from being driven by our equality outcomes. We will improve our understanding of mainstreaming to build a system that is inclusive by design. We will look at how we do things, as well as the activities we do.
- Our mainstreaming approach won’t be tied to the protected characteristics within our equality outcomes. This leaves us free to look at how we make the system inclusive by design for all equality groups.
- We will strengthen our continuous improvement process. We will bring our learning from our last equality outcomes to inform our mainstream work. This includes building on our work with women and girls, disabled people and those living in areas of high deprivation.
New ideas
- Going forward, we will deliver our equality outcomes through the “New ideas” strand. Our aim is to tackle pressing inequalities in sport. We will test new ideas for excluded groups and be prepared to fail and learn. Our work will evolve as we learn..
- We have set person-centred, thematic outcomes to reach focus groups in a way that recognises their diversity. We will involve excluded groups from “start to finish” in the decision making. Our actions will be based on their diverse needs.
- We will build on the networks and learning from our previous outcomes, as women and girls, disabled people and those living in areas of high deprivation are part of the diversity of the new focus groups. Intersectionality is a key point in our approach. For more information, please see:
Our equality outcomes - New ideas.
Inclusive by design
Our goal is to build a system that is inclusive by design.
Our approach is about creating the environment for change and ensuring equality, diversity and inclusion is embedded in our work. It will become our business as usual. We will help people experience the benefits of diversity. We will help them learn how to make inclusive decisions. We will provide tools to address bias. We will experiment and co-create new ideas and opportunities to take part, for groups who are under-represented in sport. This will drive improvement through our system.
