Call for Evidence on Sport Integrity Issues
Posted on
Sport and physical activity should be inclusive and welcoming for all, so that everyone can have confidence that there is a place for them in sport.
The responsibilities of sports organisations around integrity issues have come under increased scrutiny over recent years, with serious allegations of misconduct coming to light. These allegations have not been restricted to one sport or to a certain level of participation. We want to ensure that we have the strongest possible systems for addressing sport integrity issues and that we remain at the forefront of global efforts around fairness and inclusion in sport.
As set out in Get Active: A Strategy for the Future of Sport and Physical Activity, we intend to work alongside the sport and physical activity sector to identify the most pressing integrity challenges and potential improvements, including how structures around complaint handling and dispute resolution can be strengthened.
This call for evidence is a vital first step in this process – we want to hear about how the current systems for handling concerns in sport are working, and how these could be improved.
