Welcome to YOUR DIAP journey! This is a collaborative approach to discovering and delivering bespoke Diversity and Inclusion Plans (DIAP). The journey ahead may be challenging but we promise it is going to be fun.
The Sports Governance Code requires that you must have a Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) that has been agreed with UK Sport or Sport England. The plans are expected to be ambitious and robust and set out clearly how partners will work to improve diversity and inclusion across their whole organisation.
AGS is a consortium made up of AKD Solutions, The Governance Forum and Sheffield Hallum University.
This combination provides you a great amount of skills, experience and creativity in helping you develop a DIAP that will contribute to genuine and sustainable change in creating greater diversity and inclusion in sport.
Meet Ladi Ajayi, Head of the Sport Division at AKD Solutions is the Project Lead for DIAP process. He reveals what to expect during YOUR DIAP journey.
There are a number of things that you need to know about this process.
We want to ensure that you own the process and that we provide you with the support you need.
We have developed a model that is disruptive. Our intention is to help you in developing a DIAP that is ambitious, bespoke and proportionate.
The journey will bespoke and right for your organisation.
You will have a number of people who can login into the portal. Some of you will need little support, others will need more and we will accommodate this.
This could include Data, Listening and Re-Imaging. The development journey phase will be bespoke to each organisation. This could include; Data, Listening and Re-Imaging. The Development Journey maps out the steps you need to undertake to develop a stretching and robust Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP). The Development Journey will be bespoke for your organisation and will build upon existing and planned work.
The first thing we ask you to do is to complete a short Partner Support Questionnaire. It consists of 25 questions that will help us to understand where your organisation is on its Diversity and Inclusion journey. The questionnaire will only be seen and used by AGS to help us understand how we can support you.
Once you have uploaded your DIAP our team will review your DIAP, to ensure it is ambitious, bespoke and proportionate as well as meets the criteria of what makes a good DIAP.
The triage meeting is an online meeting with your assigned consultant. In this meeting we will talk about your response from the Partner Support Questionnaire and then plan your development journey if required. Additionally we explore what you have done to date and then plan your development journey with you.
This is the final step! Once the Independent Review process is complete, we will forward all relevant documentation with our recommendation to UK Sport or Sport England, notifying them that your DIAP is ready for sign off.
We have a brilliant team who bring a vast amount of experience that covers: learning and development, data, moderation and consultancy. As you progress through your journey you will be notified of the members of the team that will be working with you.
