Policies and Practice
Culturally and linguistically Diverse People

Consider whether any of your existing policies may limit or negatively impact the participation of people from culturally diverse backgrounds. You may need to adapt or adopt new policies that help you reach your goal of providing a welcoming, safe and accessible environment. Policies should also detail how your organisation will make your sport accessible to people for whom English is a second language.

If your organisation aspires to increase participation by targeting specific groups of people from diverse backgrounds, this should be reflected in your vision and strategic objectives. In addition, if your organisation has staff or volunteers with specific responsibilities, consider writing measurable goals for each person which relate to diversity and inclusion. This helps to imbed inclusion as something that is everyone’s responsibility in the organisation.
