What is needed

The five design principles

Safety

Recognising that the safety of participants is directly related to the support that coaches receive . Better support leads to better delivery and harm prevention – it is a win-win proposition .

Quality

Highly developed workforce development strategies and systems that are well resourced and based on support at the point of need .

Diversity

Addressing the systemic , cultural and social barriers that restrict the development of a diverse coaching workforce while also working to ensure that the existing workforce is able to engage participants with diverse and specific needs .

Experience

Reimagining the experience for the participant and ensuring that coaches are developed in line with these experiences – our coaches are cast members and the participant is the star of the show .

Sustainability

Develop a ‘ regenerative ’ system that meets the needs of people within the means of the planet . Seek to align the organisation ’ s purpose , networks , governance , and finance with this goal .
