Welcome to the UK Wide Talent and Performance Pathway Inclusion Research Project

Overview of the project

Sheffield Hallam University would like to inform you about research taking place on behalf of UK Sport and the Home Country Sports Councils (Sport England, Sportscotland, Sport Wales and Sport NI) to investigate the inclusion landscape within the talent and performance pathways. This will involve gathering data that National governing bodies already hold regarding characteristics of their members. This includes, where available, gender, ethnicity, age, nationality, education, gender identity, sexuality, first language, religion and postcode. For more information please click here.
