INCLUSIVE SPORTSWEAR CHARTER & GUIDANCE LAUNCHING OCTOBER 2024
WHO WE ARE
Inclusive Sportswear CIC is a non-profit community-interest company, working to create more inclusive sport and physical activity clothing and uniform policies for schools, clubs, sport organisations and brands.
OUR MISSION
Increase participation, performance & enjoyment in sport by removing the barriers created by non-inclusive sport kit policy & practice.
WHAT WE DO
We strategically develop and implement rigorously inclusive sportswear policy standards to place participation, enjoyment and performance at the centre of sportswear policies for schools, clubs, organisations, sporting bodies and brands.
OUR AMBITION
1. DRIVE A SYSTEMIC, INCLUSIVE APPROACH TO SPORTS KIT ADOPTED BY SCHOOLS, CLUBS, BRANDS AND SPORT NATIONAL GOVERNING BODIES.
2. EDUCATE & CAMPAIGN FOR INCLUSIVE SPORTS KIT CHOICE IN EVERY SPORT AND SCHOOL
3. REMOVE COMPULSORY IMPRACTICAL GENDERED OR SEXUALISED SPORTS KIT POLICY IN SCHOOLS.
4. MAKE IT EASY TO EVOLVE SPORTS KIT POLICY BY PROVIDING OPEN ACCESS TO INCLUSIVE SPORTSWEAR.
We are developing the Inclusive Sportswear Charter, a guidance framework that outlines the very best practice for inclusive sportswear policy and uniform guidelines for schools, clubs, sports organisations, national governing bodies and brands.
The Inclusive Sportswear Charter is designed to support schools, clubs, organisations and brands in the sport and physical activity sector to put inclusion, participation, and performance of all individuals at the centre sportswear policy.
THE INCLUSIVE SPORTSWEAR CHARTER
WE ARE PROUDLY PARTNERED WITH
WHY
Sportswear policy continues to be a significant barrier to participation, enjoyment and performance in sport and physical activity.
Too often sports and physical activity uniforms
over-sexualise and underserve women and girls
apply historical gender stereotypes
fail to support gender and sex diversity
inadequately respect religious or ethnic preferences
inadequately support the needs of disabled and neuro-diverse people
fail to cater for all socio-economic backgrounds
discount the importance of individual choice
fail to support body confidence
Research proves sports kit and body image concerns are the most underrated causes of drop-outs in sport and physical activity.
