Charter
The Charter is the centre of Inclusive Sportswear, it is our ‘North Star’. Whenever we are talking about sports kit policy, advice or items, we should always refer back to the key 5 principles.
If you ever get lost about what to do in a situation, just look back at this Charter for help. But it is hard to know how to implement the Charter principles effectively for everyone’s different needs, and still maintain your team unity and belonging.
Why the Charter?
The Charter has been created because there needs to be a unifying attitude to sports kit policy and practices to put the focus on the purpose of sport.
Our Aim
Our aim is for sports kit policy never to be a barrier for participation or enjoyment in sport.
The Impact of the Charter
Inclusive policies and practices will radically increase confidence in kit, positive body image, comfort, and enjoyment. More engagement in activity leads to a happier, healthier, more inclusive society.
