Findings from the ‘Tackling Racism and Racial Inequalities review’ (2021) show that racism and racial inequalities still exist within sport in the UK, and demonstrate that there are longstanding issues, which have resulted in ethnically diverse communities being consistently disadvantaged.
Badminton Scotland understands it has a responsibility to address these issues. We aim to do this by reducing the existing barriers, and by improving the knowledge and education of our staff and volunteers.
We work closely with the following groups and charities to increase the participation of communities from diverse ethnic backgrounds: SEMSA, Amina, Boots & Beards, Livindians, One Community Scotland.
