The first in a series of short films produced by Rural Action Yorkshire (now Community First Yorkshire) which explain the Community Led Planning (CLP) process, a tried and tested approach that helps local people to explore the needs for their area, set priorities and plan actions. Community Led Planning has a number of important characteristics: - It is led, driven and resourced through grassroots action; - The people working on Community Plans are volunteers, usually a mix of parish councillors and other local people; - It involves extensive community participation and engagement using techniques such as questionnaires, meetings, discussions and events; - It results in a credible action plan based on in-depth consultation; - The action plan produced sets out how local problems and issues can be tackled. This will include actions which the community can undertake alone, and actions which they need to address in partnership with local authorities or other agencies.

Good Governance in Sport: Parity in the Boardroom

SIGA works towards a vision of sport played and governed under the highest integrity standards, free from any form of unethical, illicit and criminal activity, to safeguard sports values and ensure its positive impact and benefits to all citizens. Despite progress, women continue to face significant barriers to equality, with women doing most of the world’s unpaid work. Working cultures remain out of date with unconscious bias pervasive. Whether in sports bodies, marketing, broadcasting, sponsorship or in policy, women remain underrepresented in decision-making roles, which has a knock-on effect on how the sport is run and governed. Webinar streamed live on 8 Mar2021 as part of SIGA's 2021/2022 Global Agenda on Female Empowerment and Leadership in Sport.
