Like all areas of society, sport has a responsibility to protect our environment. Our panel  explores practical ways in which sustainability can be put at the heart of strategic planning.

Based on the findings of extensive research and interviews with those occupying leadership roles in a range of NGBs and other organisations in the sector, this session focuses on the nature of sport and leadership in sports organisations, the next evolution of sports leadership, and developing leadership capacity in individuals and teams.

This session looks at the strategic value of People Plans and workforce governance, both in terms of the Uniting the Movement strategy and the wider sport and physical activity sector. We address how these can impact transformation in the workforce and lead to shifts in organisational culture. 

A look at the key progress made on equality, diversity and inclusion across the sector.

The panel consider recent reviews into behaviour within the sector and discuss what organisations can take from them in order improve their culture and processes.

Representatives of the five Sports Councils discuss their governance priorities, their strategies for the sector, and how they are working together to improve governance in the sport and physical activity sector across the UK.
