We would like to inform members that we are working towards the achievement of the Preliminary Level of the Equality Standard for Sport by April 2015.
As part of our work to achieve this level, we have developed a survey for our members to complete. We are required to do this under the Equality Act 2010 and as part of the accreditation process for the Equality Standard for Sport.
The information collected will be used to create a profile of the individuals involved in our sport as members. This survey will only take you a few minutes to complete and will be very valuable. Without this data, it will not be possible to identify any areas of under-representation or potential inequalities, and as such, it will make it much more difficult for us to tackle these issues.
All responses and personal information will be treated with the utmost confidence and in line with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998, and:
•Your information will be stored securely with restricted access;
•Information will be anonymous (this means that there will be no way in which you can be identified), there is nowhere on the form that asks for your name; and
•Information will be combined in the form of summary reports which will be reported to our Board and used as part of the portfolio of evidence that we will submit for the Equality Standard assessment.
If you have any questions then you may talk in confidence to our Club and Coach Development Officer on 07725 100891.
Thank you very much for helping us in our equality work.
Please note: This survey should only be completed by Boxing Scotland Board members, staff, coaches, officials and members/participants i.e boxers &/or fitness users. The survey can also be completed by parents of or with parental consent for 11-15 year olds.
All Boxing Scotland member clubs will also receive hard copies of the questionnaire in the post for their members to complete, should access to the internet not be possible
