Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Ms Helen McHugh:
Specifically in this regard, our approach to education, training and awareness will look to procure and roll out some anti-racism and unconscious bias training for the sector and make that available across all national governing bodies and local sports partnerships. That would be incorporated into our overall plans anyway, but as Dr. May mentioned, we are fast-tracking it. On the provision of other resources and support, we provide funding for organisations such as Active Disability Ireland to deliver training. We develop guidance and support the code of conduct, and we are also delivering other guidance and supports. We are working in the area of gender balance as well, so it is a suite of resources.
