<p>Our national sports council, Sport England, is investing £2 million per year into
the Football Association (FA) to support their work to make their coaching workforce
more representative of wider society. This includes providing bursaries to support
women and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds to develop their
coaching abilities from the grassroots to the elite levels of the game.</p><p><strong><br></strong>Government’s
Sporting Future strategy recognised the important role coaching plays in helping people
become and stay active. Sport England, evaluated the coaching landscape and developed
a new coaching plan for England, ‘Coaching in an Active Nation’, which was published
in November 2016. This was developed following consultation with coaches, coach educators
and national governing bodies of sport, including the FA, and looks to increase diversity
in coaching to better reflect underrepresented groups.</p>
