Inclusion

Advice and guidance on inclusion and access
 

The RYA aims to ensure that all present and potential participants, members, instructors, coaches, competitors, officials, volunteers and employees are treated fairly and on an equal basis, irrespective of sex, age, disability, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership, gender reassignment or social status.

By making small changes, you can create big differences in the experience that people have at your club. A great experience can lead to retention and offer opportunities for new members.
