Angling Development Officer
The Angling Development Board (ADB) is looking to appoint a Development Officer for Equity and Ethics.
The officer will lead on the development Equality Standards in angling in partnership with the Sports Equity Alliance, the development and implementation of Child Protection Policies with the Child Protection in Sport Unit and Anti-Doping Policies and procedures with UK Sport.
Angling has the potential to become one of the most equitable of sports in which men can compete against women, children against adults, able bodied against people with disabilities, and young against old. It can also have a non-competitive structure attracting individuals who want to be active, but are put off by the competitive nature of sport. And yet less than 2% of anglers are female and less than 1% are from black and ethnic minority groups. Its potential is untapped though despite the face that it is the most popular sport amongst people with disabilities and is very popular with people from low income groups.
Building on angling's equity and popularity amongst hard to reach groups this role can help deliver changes in individuals and society that cannot be achieved in any other sport. The post is not only challenging, it also has the potential to be rewarding, helping to bring real changes to a sport whose potential is currently untapped.
