15.8 million adults in England now play sport at least once a week, 1.75 million more than in 2005/6. Sport England launched the Code for Sports Governance just after the conclusion of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The business of sport has changed rapidly in recent years. New opportunities and threats continue to present themselves. The type of decisions that now need to be taken are frequently complex, commercial, multidisciplinary and high-profile in nature. Those entrusted with the responsibility to take these decisions therefore need to equip themselves in a manner that allows them to thrive in this shifting environment.
It was against this background that the Government’s strategy for an active nation (published December 2015) set the requirement for UK Sport and Sport England to agree a new Code for Sports.
Many of the principles set out in this Code are widely accepted as being elements of good practice in corporate governance. It has been jointly produced by Sport England and UK Sport, and it will apply to all organisations within the United Kingdom to whom they provide grant funding.
A detailed overview of the Code for Sports Governance can be downloaded from the Sport England website here.
Active Sussex's strategy sets out our plans and approach for the next five years. The focus of our work has been developed with our partners and stakeholders, to deliver against Sport England’s priority issues as part of Uniting the Movement.
