Equality and Diversity

Both Wiltshire Council and Wiltshire & Swindon Sport are firmly committed to the principles of equality and inclusion in both coaching and participant provision. We are keen to celebrate the diversity of people who live and/or deliver in Wiltshire and Swindon to ensure our sport provisions are accessible to all. Our aim is to ensure no applicant receives less favourable treatment or is disadvantaged by policies, procedures, conditions or requirements including on the grounds of age, disability, sex, gender identity, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, ethnic background, religion or belief, sexual orientation or caring responsibilities which cannot be shown to be justified.
