Equity in Sport
Littlehampton Rugby Club is
committed to ensuring that equity is incorporated across all aspects of its
development.
In doing so it acknowledges and
adopts the following Sport England definition of sports equity:
Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access,
recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing
the culture and structure of sport to ensure it becomes equally accessible to
everyone in society.
The club respects the rights,
dignity and worth of every person and will treat everyone equally within the
context of their sport, regardless of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity,
religious belief, sexuality or social/economic status.
Littlehampton Rugby Club is
committed to everyone having the right to enjoy their sport as a player, coach,
match official or spectator in an environment free from threat of intimidation,
harassment and abuse. All club
members have a responsibility to oppose discriminatory behaviour and promote
equality of opportunity.
Young Players
Littlehampton Youth Rugby will
always base its rugby coaching on a tradition of inclusiveness, recognising that
all young players develop at different ages.
Players who appear to acquire
physical maturity, ball and team skills and rugby awareness later than those
who, when younger, appear to be `elite' players are very important to the club.
They have the ability to
contribute much to Littlehampton Rugby Club later in their careers, be that in
our Senior squads or within the club as a whole.
The club will deal with any
incidence of discriminatory behaviour seriously, according to club
disciplinary procedures.
