Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

The National Sports Policy 2018 – 2027 champions inclusion as a core value, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that sports are open and accessible to everyone. By enacting this Diversity and Inclusion policy, Leitrim Sports Partnership aim to uphold this fundamental value. Our approach is guided by several principles:

• We believe that participation in sports enriches lives, enhances enjoyment, and improves quality of life for individuals, whether through active engagement or support for our top athletes.
• In implementing this policy, we prioritize the needs and rights of those vulnerable to marginalization.
• We recognize the positive impact of sports and physical activity on both physical and mental health, striving to make participation opportunities available to all.
• By actively including individuals in sports and physical activities, we contribute to building a sense of community and belonging.
• These principles underscore our commitment to promoting inclusion and ensuring that sports serve as a platform for empowerment, well-being, and community cohesion.
