allowed them to participate with other members from their ethnic group or which specifically recognised their cultural or religious needs such as a segregated environment (see Scott Porter, 2001:25). The latter presented some interesting challenges; the Scott Porter (2001:28) report noted that a community might be promised a women-only environment only to find that there was a male instructor or staff member present, thereby undermining any understanding of what was to occur. 25
Recommendations The Scott Porter (2001) report makes a number of recommendations for sportscotland which are worth (selectively) repeating here. They include : • Development of written policies on racial equality in sport • Establish and evaluate the needs of different ethnic minority groups • Establish links with local authorities, sport governing bodies and voluntary organisations to instigate partnership working in sports development planning and programmes • Promote benefits of participation as part of a long-term strategy through mass media campaigns that portray people from ethnic minority groups as part of the wider community • Elicit endorsement of community religious representatives in acknowledging the benefits of sport • Provide respected role models from each community, both male and female • Establish key links with community representatives to communicate opportunities • Develop a ‘Chartermark’ for governing bodies of sport with guidelines for achieving racial equality in their sport • Provide guidelines on addressing the enquiries and issues raised by participants from ethnic minority groups, such as acceptable clothing • Focus on establishing an understanding of community recreational and sporting needs • Consult fully with the target community prior to the development and implementation of initiatives • Establish dedicated clubs to provide ‘safe’, comfortable (introductory) environments • Provide multi-lingual literature in a range of formats about sports programmes And educational and training opportunities • Develop procedures for establishing coaching needs of individuals and methods for attaining them 26
