Sports Council for Wales’ Vision for Equality

The Sports Council for Wales is fully committed to achieving equality in sport and physical recreation. The Sports Council’s Equality Scheme outlines our proactive approach in this area. It sets out our commitment in working towards achieving equality in all of our functions, whilst embracing the spirit of equality legislation and eradicating any form of unfair discrimination.

SCW Equality scheme

We believe strongly in the principles of equality. Recent changes to equality legislation have placed an enhanced responsibility on public sector organisations to ensure they adopt a proactive approach to equality. As such, the Sports Council is promoting a corporate approach to updating its Equality Scheme and associated Action Plan. There is recognition that the scheme is not an end in itself, but a means of taking action to meet the general and the specific duties. In the future the scheme will allow SCW to demonstrate how it has consulted, what action it has taken and the outcomes it has achieved.

The SCW Equality Scheme is current as of September 2009. The SCW Equality Action Plan will be updated each year in January, May and September.
