BTC Equity Booklet V5.0 Page 5 of 11 Dec 2023 The accessibility plan is required for: • Increasing access for students with a disability to Taekwondo Clubs • Improving access to the club’s environment • Improving written information for students with a disability There are three main duties: • to provide equal opportunities for students with a disability • to make reasonable adjustments to include students with a disability • to prepare an accessibility strategy Definition of Disability You are disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities. 8. TRANSGENDER STUDENTS The BTC considers that Taekwondo is a gender affected sport under the Equality Act 2010. In consultation with Member Organisations and Taekwondo athletes, a BTC Transgender Policy has been developed and added to the BTC suite of policies and procedures. 9. EQUITY TRAINING A series of regular briefing sessions will be held for staff on equity issues. These will be repeated as necessary. Equity information is also included in induction programmes. Training will be provided for Member Organisation representatives on this policy and the associated arrangements. All Member Organisation representatives who have an involvement in the recruitment and selection process will receive specialist training. 10. MONITORING • BTC deems it appropriate to state its intention not to discriminate and assumes that this will be translated into practice consistently across the organisation as a whole. Accordingly, a monitoring system will be introduced to measure the effectiveness of the policy and arrangements. • The system will involve the routine collection and analysis of information on employees by gender, marital status, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion / beliefs, grade and length of service in current grade. Information regarding the number of staff who declare themselves as disabled will also be maintained. • There will also be regular assessments to measure the extent to which recruitment to first appointment, internal promotion and access to training/development opportunities affect equal opportunities for all groups. • We will maintain information on staff who have been involved in certain key policies: Disciplinary, Grievance and Bullying & Harassment. • Where appropriate, equality impact assessments will be carried out on the results of monitoring to ascertain the effect of BTC policies and our services / products may have on those who experience them. • The information collected for monitoring purposes will be treated as confidential and it will not be used for any other purpose.
