Discussion Questions
- Have we reviewed existing research and engaged with specific diverse groups of people to understand the common barriers?
- Have we undertaken research for specific diverse groups of people and related our insight to our local area, our provision, or our sport?
- Have we considered the barriers faced by underrepresented diverse groups of people who have expressed an interest / have a latent demand or are not engaging in your services?
- Have we promoted solutions and provided training for our staff to encourage ongoing discussions to remove these barriers?
Supportive Solutions
Consult with specific diverse groups of people about the barriers they may face in accessing provision. Include non-participants in our consultation.
Utilise this insight to inform strategic decisions and design of programmes.
Use campaigns / communication methods/ training to raise awareness of the barriers and ongoing solutions across our delivery system / environments.
