Serco Leisure is committed to ensuring equity for all its customers regardless of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or social/economic status. This commitment seeks to comply with relevant statutory requirements and codes of practice, supports Serco’s Equal Opportunities Policy Standard and acknowledges Sport England’s definition of equity in sport:
Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to all members of society, whatever their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality or socio-economic status.
It also supports our Mission Statement:
‘to provide active and healthy lifestyles for all in a safe, warm, clean, friendly and fun environment.’
Serco Leisure will endeavour to ensure fairness and equity of access in sport and other activities. We believe everyone has the right to enjoy their activity in an environment free from threat of intimidation, harassment and abuse. Where inequalities or inappropriate behaviour are identified, we will take steps to address them as far as possible and will promote equality of opportunity.
In order to promote equity within our Centres, we will monitor and evaluate the usage and participation levels to assist in identifying programme and activity improvements, thereby reducing inequalities. In addition, we will assess the impact of our service, and, where appropriate, we will consult with various stakeholders to further facilitate the development of our offering.

By minimising the impact of inputs, processes and outputs, Serco Leisure will be able to ensure sustainable development can occur to the utmost of our ability.
