Ethnic Minorities
Racial Equality is a priority for the Humber Sports Partnership, having one of the lowest levels of Black and Ethnic minority groups in the country, identifying the needs and ensuring communication with these communities can be a challenge. At the Humber Sports Partnership we are committed to ensuring that black and ethnic minority groups are represented and considered at strategic and delivery levels for all sporting activities in the county.
Participation research suggests that levels of participation in the UK have under represented levels for minority groups. The Racial Equality Charter was a tool for the County Sports Partnership (CSP) to help them plan, develop and achieve racial equality in their organisation.
The Equality Standard intends to surpass the Racial Equality Charter as a method to engage in the development of Equality within the Humber. It will reach legislation standards at the same time as being adaptable enough to benefit individual communities. Humber Sports Partnership appreciate that racial Equality is not just about opportunities, but about using sport as a tool to pro-actively change perceptions and attitudes to dispel ignorance and prejudice as stated by the Commission for Racial Equality.
