Barriers and Negative Impact Activity stereotyping affects disabled people, men and
women, BME groups, lesbian, gay and bisexual people, certain age groups and disadvantaged groups
Sport and physical activity should not limit individuals from certain groups into specific stereotypical activities
Positive images of diversity can challenge these stereotypes
Coaches and teachers have a strong role in ensuring that these stereotypes are not promoted or adhered to
Lack of cultural awareness (e.g. faith groups)

Solutions to Barriers Discriminatory practice – policies/rules in place to
prevent this and tackle it robustly if it occurs
Childcare – provision on site, planning activity
Carers – be accommodating, accompany free of charge
Inclusive vs. exclusive – e.g. women only, disabled provision can be valid and necessary
Consult when planning activity

CONSUMER INSIGHT
Personal Circumstances
67% of BME groups live in most deprived local authorities. Evidence suggests people like Ryan are more likely to be unemployed, live below the poverty line and have inhibited access to general service which will impact on their quality of life and attitudes towards sport.
Whilst sports providers may have been engaging individuals like Adeel through existing programmes like Kickz for a number of years, cultural expectations (specifically family demands) with regards to education, religion, wider family responsibilities and work commitments are viewed as the priority.

Successful Interventions
– Trust with the provider and its staff established and a group feel safe that their needs (cultural & religious) are understood and respected
– Take place in local facilities that are appropriate, familiar, easy to access and affordable
– Developed and delivered through existing BME community groups

Successful Interventions ctd…
– Those that offer single sex sessions and make clear in the service information how the environment and delivery will take into account religious and cultural needs
– Those where transport is made available
– Those where BME individuals are represented on the staff of the facility
– Interventions that involved BME communities in the assessment of the needs and delivery of the intervention

SCENARIOA club in existence for over eighty years within a community, has substantially changed over the last twenty years.
The club is seeing a substantial reduction in the number of participants and volunteers and many of the traditional members have moved away from the immediate community.
Many of the juniors within the club are from BME communities. Although parents/guardians come to watch, they appear to be reluctant to come into the club house and engage with current members.
Discuss the issues presented here and how you can increase the number of BME volunteers ?
