The Women and Leadership Development Programme has been developed by a partnership between the British Olympic Foundation (BOF), UK Sport and the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR) to help tackle the issue of women’s representation within the highest ranks of British sport.
Each participant on the Programme will have a Personal Development Plan which will identify skill and knowledge requirements and set out how these will be met. A variety of learning methods will be utilised, from workshops and presentation, to attendance at relevant international events. All participants will also be teamed up with a mentor, usually an established woman leader, to provide additional support.
Those selected to take part in the Programme are:
· Emma Atkins – sportscoachUK
