![]() While no new requirement's been introduced in the area of Board culture, this has also emerged as an area of major importance in the consultation and one we'll be keen to explore further with stakeholders as the revised Code is implemented. The inclusion of topics such as environmental sustainability, welfare and safety, and the expansion of the Code from Boards to other parts of organisations, also emerged as areas for development. However, the review also highlighted several areas for improvement, including making the Code more accessible and easier to understand providing more guidance in terms of explanations, templates and case studies and encouraging greater flexibility and proportionality based on size and capacity.Ĭritically, while progress has taken place, the review revealed the need and demand for (as well as desire from) organisations working in sport and physical activity to do far more in ensuring they – and the sector as a whole – reflect and are representative of the diversity of the society we serve. We've been heartened by the positive impact the Code's achieved, thanks to the huge work funded partners have carried out in recent years to implement it and further enhance good governance in the sector. Of organisations funded by us and/or UK Sport said the Code has tightened their governance National governing bodies of sport also routinely engage with their international federations, with the Code providing a valuable framework for sharing knowledge and informing governance reform at an international level. We also know that since its introduction, the Code's attracted significant interest internationally and several countries have now emulated it. The compliance process was felt to be rigorous and supportive.Key impact areas were found to be Board diversity (particularly with regard to increasing women on Boards) and term lengths. ![]()
