  • BLM Statement Final Branded
    Sport and recreation sector commit to tackling inequality The appalling death of George Floyd, the global protests that have followed and the powerful message of the Black Lives Matter movement has made every section of society take notice and confront an ugly truth. Sport and recreation has an influential role to bring about meaningful change and this period has rightly led the sector to reflect, listen, question, learn and openly discuss how to take positive action. It is acknowledged that up to this point, we have not done enough. It is time to confront racism and inequality that exists across sport, from grassroots participation through to the boardroom. Research by the Sport and Recreation Alliance (2018) showed that four in ten (40%) of BAME participants have endured a negative experience in sport or physical activity settings, more than double that of white participants. A 2020 Sport England report demonstrates that just over 50% of black people in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity each week. The Diversity in Sport Governance report (2018/19) identified there is only 5% BAME board representation across Sport England and UK Sport funded organisations. Constructive work has already been started to address a number of these problems including a committed effort to increase boardroom diversity, additional funding to tackle inequality and an array of inspiring inclusiveness projects from across the sport and recreation sector. This can only be seen as the start. Systemic change must be made at all levels so that we can become truly reflective of our wonderfully diverse society. We can no longer rely on black role models at the elite level speaking out, we must join together to become better and to support every member of the sport and recreation community.

  • Swim England WQR0032
    Swim England WQR0032 Written evidence from Swim England About Swim England Swim England is the recognised National Governing Body for swimming, diving, water polo and artistic swimming in England. Before Covid, swimming remained one of the most popular activities in England, with 14 million adults going swimming each year (31.3 per cent of the population). More than one million children learn to swim outside of school through Swim England’s Learn to Swim programme each year. The popularity of open water swimming continues to grow. Sport England’s Active Lives Survey showed that 2.1 million people swam in rivers, lochs, lakes and seas in 2017/18 and the number of people swimming outdoors continues to rise. Swim England’s recent ‘Value of Swimming’ report demonstrated that swimming is incredibly valuable. It is valuable for the individual and to local communities and wider society, saving the NHS more than £357 million each year. Introduction 1. Swim England is pleased to provide evidence to the committee. The health of outdoor swimmers is being threatened by the levels of pollution in our rivers and waterways. Figures from the Environment Agency report that none of the country’s rivers were in good overall health and only 14% met good ecological status. 2. The discharge of raw untreated sewage into rivers places swimmers at greater risk of the potential transmission of viruses. 3. Not only does poor water quality threaten the health of swimmers, it also damages our precious waterway environments. By improving water quality and encouraging people to be active in and on our rivers and waterways by increasing access to these spaces, people will be even more emotionally invested in protecting these environments.
