Our new EDI Strategy sets out clear, evidence-based actions to strengthen leadership, widen opportunity and improve fairness across the sport.Alongside the strategy, we’ve published a summary of new ethnicity research capturing the lived experiences of ethnically and culturally diverse people working in racing. Their insights have shaped our priorities and will inform a dedicated action plan.From improved reporting systems to inclusive education, leadership development and better support for underrepresented groups, the strategy focuses on practical change and providing the sport with the tools to improve diversity and inclusion.Full details: https://www.britishhorseracing.com/press_releases/all-in-the-race-british-horseracing-authority-launches-new-cross-industry-equality-diversity-and-inclusion-strategy-and-publishes-ethnicity-research/ Hosted on Acast.
