Description

United on the field? Enhancing equity and inclusion in community sport. The project aims to deepen understanding of how equity and inclusion policies within community sport can be transformed to address inequities in participation. The project expects to generate new knowledge using intersectional policy-based analysis to inform the development of more effective policy responses to systemic, multi-layered inequities in the sports sector. Expected outcomes include increased capacity within the sport sector to address exclusion and widen participation. This will result in significant social benefits, such as providing fair access to community sports for marginalized communities, and economic benefits, by reducing the health costs associated with low physical activity..
