Government\u2019s sport strategy \u2018Sporting Future\u2019, 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>

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\u2019 Equity Group with Home Country Sports Councils to develop consistent approaches to equality and opportunities with national governing bodies.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3950", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chatham and Aylesford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Tracey Crouch"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-13T10:11:36.503Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Football: Ethnic Groups"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps are being taken to ensure that BAME coaches experience adequate opportunities in sports that operate under the UK Sports umbrella.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4425", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Stevens"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jo Stevens"} ], "uin" : "118403"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/802139", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/802139/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

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\u2019s \u2018When The Fun Stops Stop\u2019 campaign. In 2016/17 Senet funding was £1.7m.<\/p>

<\/p>

In January 2017 the Gambling Commission\u2019s 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>

UK organisations have been able to access EU funding for sports projects since 2014, through Erasmus+. Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe, and runs from 2014-2020. Its focus is on educational mobility and exchange projects, and it does not provide assistance for infrastructure projects.<\/p>

As promised in the Sporting Future strategy, Government commissioned an independent report by Baroness Grey-Thompson on the Duty of Care owed by sport to its participants. That report was published in April and covered a range of issues relating to elite and grassroots sport.
