This seminar offered delegates a timely opportunity to examine the key priorities and challenges for supporting a more productive, sustainable and responsible sport sector.
It was informed by the new Charter for Sports Governance which forms the basis for a UK wide Governance code to be launched later in 2016, as well as the Government’s sport strategy Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation.
Sessions considered the future role of national governing bodies, sport councils, arm’s length bodies, as well as Government, in ensuring the integrity of both global and domestic sport in the context of recent high profile allegations - including blood doping, match fixing and bribery - and explored latest thinking on the way forward for Government intervention, educating athletes on the importance of clean sport, and greater transparency to maximise sport’s public value.
Further sessions focused on strategies for ensuring safe participation and duty of care in sport at all levels, and next steps for encouraging a more inclusive and diverse workforce in order for the sector to capitalise on the talent and skills of the entire population.
