equity” concerns fairness in sport, equality of access, the recognition of
inequalities and the taking of appropriate steps to address them. It also
concerns changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure that it becomes
equally accessible to everyone in society.

equally within the context of their chosen sport, regardless of their age,
ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or social /
economic status.

committed to the principle of everyone having the right to enjoy their chosen
sport in an environment free from the threat of intimidation, harassment and
abuse.
The Club’s
Members have a responsibility to oppose discriminatory behaviour of any kind
and to actively promote equality of opportunity.
The Club
will deal with any incidence of discriminatory behaviour in accordance with its
disciplinary procedures. |
