Will the standard deliver?
• Totally positive acceptance
• Belief that the Equality Standard will do exactly what it is intended to.
• However, the findings do point towards a more instrumental approach to the Standard rather than one built wholly upon entitlement and equality.
The level of the Standard NGB's can REALISTICALLY ACHIEVE by March 2006

Benefits
• Freedom to operate and build credibility
• Increase membership, meet legal requirements
• Raising profile that we are meeting standards, promote what is being done and increase credibility
• Reviewing human resource policies and procedures
Benefits
• Good for benchmarking
• Cohesion with other NGB’s
• Understanding compliance
• Recognition of showcase equity work which can raise awareness
• Greater representation at staff and board level within currently under-represented groups
Major Challenges
• Active involvement of clubs / volunteers– Dissemination to clubs / volunteers as timing and
logistics are a challenge– Communication with volunteer base across the sport
• Resources– Officer time - time is needed to assess ourselves
across the standard– Train staff and volunteers to understand the concepts
of equality– Lack of local level resources
Major Challenges
• Information– Raising the level of awareness. Getting the message amongst
clubs and get their help with monitoring and evaluation– Clarity of what the standard is, how it applies & guidance in
relation to practical usage
• Financial– Growing rapidly and need to increase financial resources. – Low income, limited resources
• "Hard to reach"– To attract people with disabilities and from diverse ethnic
backgrounds– Understanding of different groups and how to market to them
