Since 2019, Sport England and UK Sport have been working in partnership with executive search firm, Perrett Laver, and selected partners to identify and develop a talent pool of nearly 300 diverse “Board Ready” candidates.
The aim is to proactively tackle inequalities and to reduce the barriers that persist for people who often feel excluded or unable to access Board opportunities.
The Programme seeks to enable culture change for wider diversity and greater representation across sports Boards, thereby influencing the sector to realise the power of people and leadership and the value of good governance, producing valuable insight, data and learning to encourage a more reflective, productive, sustainable and responsible sector.
All tier 3 and other nominated organisations who meet the principles and requirements of the Code for Sports Governance qualify for support and can use the services offered completely free of charge.
If you are unclear whether you are eligible for support, please contact the relevant Sports Council.
Aside from the publicly available support provided by Perrett Laver, further advice and support may sometimes be limited where you are already working with a different third party. Please liaise with us directly should you consider there to be a potential conflict of interest.
The services offered are completely free of charge and there for you to utilise as and when required. There are a couple of options that you might want to consider, outlined below. In the first instance, Perrett Laver provides a useful Toolkit.
