The 2023 Sporting Equals Race Representation Index (RRI) has been published and we’re pleased to share the progress that England Netball is making.
The survey is a crucial baseline barometer, evaluating publicly funded NGBs of sport on their advancements in the race equality agenda, specifically focusing on ethnic diversity and representation.
Out of the 58 NGBs that responded, only 12%, including England Netball, scored A or B.
England Netball has moved from a C to a B grade overall – with A grades recorded for Board, coaches and athletes – and are sixth out of 58 sports in the final index.
You can click below to see the full report, with a breakdown of our scores and comparisons to other sports. While there is still more work to be done, this index provides a good foundation to build on moving forwards.
England Netball is committed to ensuring netball is an inclusive sport and improving diversity at all levels. Driven by insight, we’re working collectively across the organisation to develop and deliver our Dedicated 2 Difference Action Plan which will help us drive an anti-racist culture through an equitable approach.
Recently, our Regional ED&I Leads joined one of our regular Regional Chairs meetings for the first time (photo from the day below). It was fantastic to have everyone together in one room to spend the day discussing our ambitions as well as sharing best practice, and establishing how we can collectively develop knowledge, build confidence and be fearless leaders to make the change in sport.
