Inclusive Sportswear CIC has operated as an educator, campaigner and beacon for inclusive sports kit standards in the community. 1/3 of girls drop out of sport because of sports kit. The mission is for no-one to drop-out of sport because of sports kit or body image concerns. To do this, we operate to create systemic sports kit change across schools, clubs, brands, and National Governing Bodies, to put sports kit inclusion and choice first. We have benefitted the community in the following ways: - Created and continued the UK's first inclusion-based sports kit standard (The Inclusive Sportswear Charter) to support participation and inclusion in sport, particularly benefiting girls, religious minorities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, signed by sport national governing bodies, brands, schools and clubs - Refined partnerships with leading UK organisations including Youth Sport Trust, Access Sport, The Well HQ to develop guidance materials and provide them as free resources to schools and sports organisations for the purpose of increasing inclusion Continued work with: - 100s of schools across England, gathering feedback to inform creation of guidance. The CIC has also continued development work to build a guidance platform, an online platform to support teachers and coaches to implement inclusive sports kit policies. - England Cricket Board, England Netball and England Hockey, putting sportswear concerns central for national governing bodies - Engaging with sportswear brands and providers to support the Inclusive Sportswear Charter, most notably beginning a campaign to increase awareness of the impact of sports kit and body image concerns in UK teenage girls through a partnership with prominent sportswear brands. The impact of this has been important for it has created change in attitude and magnified awareness in the community, and created more legitimacy for the issue. The CIC has directly supported: - Hundreds of parents, teachers and coaches to resolve sports kit inclusion issues - PE teachers through first-of-its-kind inclusive sports kit free training - Policy development through research cited in Parliamentary reports on Health Barriers for Women & Girls in Sport, impacting schools and women in sport across the country - Continued lobbying for change to the government’s PE kit policy guidance to include inclusion, choice and sports bras, impacting girls across schools - Development of documents and proposals to change the government’s PE kit policy guidance to include inclusion, choice and sports bras This work has particularly benefited: - Young girls facing barriers to sports participation - Religious and ethnic minority pupils requiring kit adaptations - Pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds needing affordable options - Disabled and neurodiverse pupils requiring adapted kit - Schools and clubs implementing more inclusive practices The CIC has achieved this while operating as a lean organisation focused on maximising social impact through systemic change in sports kit policies and practices.
