Inclusion and Social Responsibility in Sport and Active Recreation

The unit includes an overview of contemporary inclusive and socially responsible practices in the sport and active recreation industry and how they comply with government policies, legislation, and meet the community needs and expectations. It provides an insight into the diverse needs of under-represented communities/peoples in sport and active recreation, the unique resources sport and active recreational organisations have, and the social responsible initiatives offered to help the community to support social causes and address social issues. Underrepresented communities/peoples include: people with disabilities, ethnically diverse and CALD communities, Indigenous people, the homeless, refugees, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) communities. Social responsibility focuses on the voluntary actions sport and active recreational organisations undertake to fulfil their social responsibility.
