Inclusion Advisory Group
Inclusion Advisory Group
Introducing the Bowls Inclusion Advisory Group
In 2021, the Bowls Development Alliance (BDA) set up a new Bowls Inclusion Advisory Group to provide expert advice and guidance on the future development, implementation, and evaluation of a new and improved equality, diversity, and inclusion strategy.
Working closely with our key partners, a group of expert representatives, including those with lived experiences of protected characteristics will act as a check and balance for our new plan, reviewing content and offering direction.


Responsibilities of the Group
- Provide advice and guidance on organisational approaches to embedding inclusion.
- Develop and agree a programme of work and an annual action plan, monitoring and reporting on progress against the plan.
- Assist the BDA and NGBs in the effective integration of equality, diversity and inclusion policies, procedures, and programmes.
- Provide support to the BDA’s Executive in delivering specific programmes to raise awareness of inclusion.
- Advise on equality and diversity-related issues, including those faced by underrepresented and marginalised communities.
