Sports Charter England Hockey has signed up to the Government Sports Charter which aims to tackle homophobia and transphobia in sport. On Monday 14 March 2011 the government, together with major sporting bodies, launched a Charter calling for anyone and everyone with an interest or involvement in sport to unite in a common cause to tackle homophobia and transphobia in sport and aim to make sport a welcoming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. The charter states: We believe that everyone should be able to participate in and enjoy sport – whoever they are and whatever their background We believe that sport is about fairness and equality, respect and dignity. Sport teaches individuals how to strive and succeed, how to cope with success and disappointment, and brings people together with a common goal We are committed to making these values a reality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. We will work together, and individually, to rid sport of homophobia and transphobia We will make sport a welcome place for everyone – for those participating in sport, those attending sporting events and for those working or volunteering in sports at any We will work with all these groups to ensure they have a voice, and to challenge unacceptable behaviour Click here to see the Sports Charter in full. Equality Standards The Equality Standard is a framework, developed by the Home Country Sports Councils, to guide sports organisations towards achieving equality. It assists organisations in developing structures and processes, assessing performance and ensuring continuous improvement in equality. There are four levels of the Equality Standard, England Hockey achieved the preliminary level. As part of its commitment to equality, England Hockey has written an Action Plan and established a working group to focus on achieving equality throughout hockey.
