VAGA Associates have been contracted by SportScotland to provide support to 13 Scottish Governing Bodies of Sport (SGBs) to be in a position to achieve the Preliminary Level of the Equity Standard.

VAGA shares the ambitions of sportscotland to widen access to sport and believes that assisting SGBs towards the Preliminary level of the Equity Standard will help achieve this.

The Project Outcomes

By the end of the project Scottish sport will have:
  • 13 SGBs with clearly defined plans for achieving the Preliminary Level of the Equity Standard
  • A well informed network of “equity champions”
  • A well resourced toolkit that supports the project and is of value in the future
  • A tried and tested framework for supporting partners to achieve the Preliminary level of the Equity Standard.
The Approach

The VAGA approach is built around two central features:
  • Providing quality support to SGBs as they work towards the Preliminary level
  • Ensuring sportscotland acquires the resources to provide support to SGBs in the future.
These central features will be underpinned by:
  • Joint workshops for SGBs to provide information about and benefits of achieving the Preliminary level.
  • One to one support for each SGB to develop a plan to achieve Preliminary level.
  • A well resourced toolkit of materials for use during this project and beyond
  • Ongoing communications, monitoring and reporting
  • Ad-hoc telephone and Email support
  • Good communication channels
The main objective is to provide consistent, effective support to the SGBs working towards Preliminary level of the Equity Standard.

Toolkit
As part of the resources offered to SGBs through the Preliminary Project, VAGA is updating the Equality Standard website on a regular basis with useful resources from sport and other areas, that should help governing bodies with the collation of evidence portfolios for the Preliminary Level of the Standard. A similar approach will be taken over time for the other Levels of the Standard as part of additional work on the site. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the site or if you have any useful resources or links that you feel would be useful to share, please contact the Site Administrator.
