44 Embracing Diversity UK Coaching is fully committed to ensuring diversity, equality and inclusion are at the heart of our culture. We are committed to being an organisation which is more representative of society, with a more enriched and diverse workforce. We strive for gender parity. 50% of our members of staff, and 50% of our Board are female; and 25% are from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. All staff are responsible for driving our equality work. In addition, UK Coaching has three Equality Champions including a Board member, Lizzie Broadbent, whose role it is to advocate the importance of equitable practice and to support the implementation of UK Coaching’s key equality and diversity projects. Through our development work, we strive to ensure Great Coaching benefits a more diverse audience with specific learning programmes aimed at black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) and disabled coaches. We also work hard to ensure imagery represents a diverse range of people to ensure everyone feels welcome.
