answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2017 answer text <p>Government’s sport strategy ‘Sporting Future’, published in December 2015, noted that just 5.5% of elite coaches were from Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, demonstrating that high performance coaching was not drawing its talent from the widest pool available. It commissioned UK Sport to review what steps could be taken to remove barriers to minority groups (and women) progressing into high performance coaching roles with a view to diversifying the talent pool and ultimately improving overall performance.</p><p> </p><p>UK Sport has since put a number of activities and processes in place to help increase the number of high quality opportunities for BAME coaches. For example their Elite Coaching Team works with role models to encourage other coaches to apply for relevant roles, and they work with Sporting Equals on data relating to BAME people, which forms part of the Sporting Equals' Leaderboard National Steering Group. One of the aims of this group is to develop and share toolkits that sports can use to help diversify their recruitment, and in particular recruit more BAME staff. UK Sport also use results from the sport-wide Culture Health Check to analyse emerging trends around equality and diversity issues, and they work closely with the Sports Councils’ Equity Group with Home Country Sports Councils to develop consistent approaches to equality and opportunities with national governing bodies.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 13/12/2017 10:11:36 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>In its Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice the Gambling Commission requires all operators licensed under the Gambling Act 2005 to make a contribution towards the research, prevention and treatment of gambling-related harm. The Commission does not specify how much this should be nor which organisation should receive it, although it highlights that GambleAware is the principal funding body for RET (research, education, treatment). The gross gambling yield for those operators in 2016/17 was £10.7bn, and they collectively contributed over £8m to GambleAware. In addition, the industry also made donations directly to charities providing support for those suffering from gambling related harm, and funded other initiatives such as Senet’s ‘When The Fun Stops Stop’ campaign. In 2016/17 Senet funding was £1.7m.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2017 the Gambling Commission’s expert advisers, the Responsible Gambling Strategy Board (RGSB) estimated that £9.3m, excluding GambleAware costs, would be required in 2017/18 to support the strategic priorities for RET that it had identified. The consultation on proposals for changes to Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility, published on 31 October, makes clear that government expects the gambling industry to increase funding to meet the targets for future years identified in the RGSB and GambleAware strategies.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 04/12/2017 16:40:46 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p><ins class="ministerial">The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has had no such discussions. National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) are not public bodies, and as such are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. NGBs are typically independent, self-appointed organisations that govern their sports through the common consent of their sport. Transparency is an important principal of good governance, and is reflected in our Code for Sport Governance, with which all bodies in receipt of UK Sport or Sport England funding must now demonstrate compliance. </ins></p><p><del class="ministerial">The cross-Government sport strategy ‘Sporting Future’ set out our intention to encourage as many people and groups to enjoy sport as participants, spectators and in the workforce, including the LGBT community. It also includes a number of other actions to ensure that all under-represented groups can take part in sport and wider physical activity through a focus on local delivery, and working with people through volunteering, coaching and the sporting workforce. Our aim is to increase diversity among sporting organisations and help the sport sector to be more inclusive and welcoming to all.</del></p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">Government continues to work with Sport England and National Governing Bodies of sport, alongside organisations including Pride Sports, Stonewall, and Kick it Out on a number of anti-homophobia initiatives aimed at encouraging inclusion. In March, Sport England commissioned Pride Sports to produce a second in depth report on barriers to LGBT participation. This research on volunteering, provision and attitudes and behaviours has been completed, and Sport England is currently considering what actions they will take based on the findings.</del></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 16/10/2017 15:53:50 question first ministerially corrected 16/10/2017 21:11:27 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch previous answer version 14960 answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
