Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We are empowering all of our members, and celebrating all of our differences, and all that we share.

We are proactively recognising and removing barriers faced by people involved, or wanting to be involved, in sport.

We are helping to ensure that the culture of elite sport in Britain is fair, equitable and ethical, and values diversity.

The BAC achieved UK Sport’s Intermediate Level of Equality Standard for Sport in 2019.

As well as offering independent support to others, the BAC can signpost you towards relevant groups and networks within elite sport. 

The BAC is a proud member of the Inclusive Employers network, and our staff are continuously encouraged to develop their knowledge and skills, and share best practice in this area, to ensure that our commitment to inclusivity shines through in all aspects of our work.

Within the High Performance System, there are a number of networks designed to promote and improve diversity in sport, including British Athletics’ ‘Racequality‘and British Swimming’s ‘Pride in Water’.
