Duty of care in sport organisation
Ian Braid (State of Mind Supporter) founder and MD of DOCIAsport has significant experience in sports leadership having held senior positions in executive and non-executive roles.
As CEO of the British Athletes Commission he gained considerable knowledge of the infrastructure of sport and its governance.
He made important contributions to the development of sport – for example informing the DCMS report into “Duty of Care” in sport; the selection policies and processes for the Commonwealth Games 2018 and ensuring sport took more responsibility for “adults at risk” by securing Sport England funding for the Ann Craft Trust.
DOCIAsport has been established to offer a collaborative partnership service to National Governing Bodies (NGBs), member associations and Higher Education institutions providing independent advice, support and guidance on all aspects of Duty of Care in Action.
“As an athlete, administrator, official, coach or volunteer, everyone in sport should expect a duty of care. Yet, with football referee numbers on the decline and increasing investigations into performance sport, change is needed. DOCIAsport helps to reinforce strengths and address weaknesses in the way that Duty of Care is applied.”
