"Inclusion in talent doesn't mean we have to forfeit winning medals or creating a high-performing environment, but it does mean a renewed emphasis on the culture and environment created within talent pathways so athletes feel comfortable being open about themselves." Our head of inclusion explains our talent inclusion programme and how we ensure talent pathways in England are accessible to everyone with the ability and potential to access sport, regardless of personal circumstances.

Our CEO, Tim Hollingsworth OBE reflects on his recent panel discussion, which focused on the better use of data and evidence in decision making, at the International Disability Inclusion Conference held jointly by UNESCO and International Paralympic Committee.
As we build to tonight's Opening Ceremony (which I will be back home watching on TV) it was important yesterday to be in Paris to be a part of a really positive conference on disability inclusion held jointly by UNESCO and International Paralympic Committee. My panel discussion focused on better use of data and evidence in decision making and in particular how to drive measurement of outcomes for wider society rather than narrow outputs when investing in sport. Asked for three things we had learned at Sport England when compiling evidence I highlighted ensuring effective robust and consistent data capture as key (for example allowing the longitudinal evidence base provided by Active Lives); to ensure you make your data capture as inclusive and user friendly for disabled people as possible; and take intersectionality into account especially when designing programmes on the back of it. I was also delighted to meet 121 with UNESCO Assistant Director General Gabriela Ramos with whom I discussed how Sport England and the UK could further support her ambitions to create more evidenced based social impact investment in sport. I look forward to carrying on this discussion and with their Chief of the Sport Section Philipp Müller-Wirth #UnitingtheMovement Department for Culture, Media and Sport

40% of women say PE in school made it difficult for them to be excited about physical activity in later life. Funded by Sport England, Studio You takes This Girl Can's ambitions into schools and is empowering teachers across the nation to break the PE mould. It's created for girls aged 11-16 who don’t feel PE is for them, with the programme designed to change their mindset and introduce them to a variety of physical activities, including combat, dance, yoga, and fitness. Are you a teacher or know one who wants to sign up? https://lnkd.in/ds_ctf4Z #SportEngland | #StudioYou | #ThisGirlCan

I loved watching Team GB success at #Paris2024 and am so looking forward to ParalympicsGB success in the coming fortnight. Nothing is better than seeing the fulfillment of the hard work by so many people... fuelled of course by National Lottery funding. For the athletes, individual talent and drive are determining factors, but they are not the only thing. All the evidence shows that it’s opportunity too: access to the programmes, support teams, and systems that nurtured and developed their early potential. We want to build on the success of Paris to make our GB teams even more representative of our society, unleashing all of the sporting talent across our nation that might not yet be visible. If you’re a young athlete with Olympic or Paralympic potential, you should have the opportunity to reach the top of your sport, regardless of your background, bank balance, or where you live. My article in yesterday's #inews on the £120million Sport England is investing in the next five years to make our Talent Pathway more diverse and inclusive. #UnitingtheMovement https://lnkd.in/eHjp2xH5

Over the past six years, we’ve tested our place-based approach in places across the country with some of the most disadvantaged and least active communities. We have invested time evaluating the approach and surfacing the learning to better understand the skills, mindsets, behaviours and capacity required to enable successful place-based, systemic working. #SportEngland | #PlaceChangeMakers

Following the launch of the third iteration of Active Design in May 2023, we joined forces with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities to run a series of eight site-based regional workshops. They set out to improve knowledge of urban design and the planning system amongst public health and physical activity professionals, with a particular focus on how the built environment can affect health outcomes.
