Inclusion in Sport Learning Series - Autumn 2024 Webinar Programme

Inclusive principles are central to the Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (HSP) Strategy, and as part of our workforce development strand, we want to empower colleagues to develop inclusive approaches and ensure that organisations live and breathe these values, so they are welcoming and open to all.

We have teamed up with Inclusive Employers, an organisation specializing in inclusion training in the sport sector, to bring you the 'Inclusion in Sport Learning Series', consisting of ten FREE 90-minute webinars, designed to increase colleagues' confidence and awareness of inclusion and diversity.

Banter and Bullying in Sport and Physical Activity

Monday 9th September

11:00-12:30pm

Banter and microaggressions are key ways in which exclusionary bullying manifests in sport. These are often more subtle forms of exclusion which have enormous impact over time.

During this training, we will discover the impacts of these behaviours on individuals and the culture of organisations. We will end the webinar by looking at ways to tackle these behaviours as individuals and as an organisation.

Gender Bias in Sport & Physical Activity

Monday 11th November

11:00-12:30pm

Birmingham 2022 was the first-ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men. 49% of athletes attending the Olympics in Tokyo were women, and 40.5% of athletes attending the Paralympics were women.  

Whilst this is good news, there is still a long way to go across the whole spectrum of Sport and Physical Activity, especially when considering intersectionality.

This webinar will examine gender bias in sport and how that intersects with other characteristics. We will also explore the underrepresentation of women in different areas of sport, from workforce to participation.
