Introduction
In this task I will be explaining how the Sport Industry is currently organised in the United Kingdom.
This will be done by researching and demonstrating my understanding of firstly the differences
between the ‘performance’ and the ‘participation’ strands and the implications of this for the Sport
Industry. Secondary I will be describing the differences and interdependencies of the three main
sectoral components of the Sport Industry, the public, private and voluntary sector. Finally I will be
giving detail explanations of the significant recent and / or proposed changes for example funding or
strategic thinking about the place of sport in society towards the Sport Industry.
The Difference between the ‘Performance’ and the ‘Participation’ Strands and the
Implications of This for the Sport Industry
Firstly in structure of the UK’s Sport
Industry it is split into two strands the
‘Performance’ and the ‘Participation’
strand. ‘Performance’ strand is where all
the elite level athletes function with other
organisations which make up the complex
structure of the UK’s Sport Industry.
Whereas ‘Participation’ strand works with
the other side of the sports development

continuum which is the foundation/grass roots level of performers.
Therefore the implications between the ‘performance’ and the ‘participation’ strands are that
funding is presented differently all over UK’s sports industry. Since the funding of the sport indus try
is done in two ways either primary or joint. Primary funding is obtained directly in the sequence
first, while by being joint funded it’s done by two or more organisations concerned with since being
in combination of other associations in the sport industry.
The Differences and Interdependencies of the Three Main Sectoral Components of the
Sport Industry (Public; Private; Voluntary)
The public sector is defined as one of the parts of the economy or the business organisation of a
country made up of the government and local authorities, nationalised industries and public
services. Also it’s known as the government sector. Whereas the private sector is known as one of
the parts of the economy of a country, which itself is made up of the corporate sector ( firms owned
by private shareholders), the personal sector (individuals and their income and expenditure), and
the financial sector (banks and other institutions dealing in money). Finally the voluntary sector is
described as not part of statutory provision such as that of social services, and usually maintained at
least in part by private charitable donations rather than by government or other official support.
Therefore the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is a major division of government
responsible for dealing with Culture, Media and Sport within the United Kingdom. DCMS is joined
with the Government Olympic Executive (GOE) in which they manage the complete London 2012
Olympic Games & Paralympics Games. Additionally within the creative industries the Department
for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) want to carry on running directly with the extra Government
departments and other organizations.
Nonetheless the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) with their Non Departmental
Public Bodies (NDPBs) do posse numerous accepted associates in which they work overseas. Though
with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) presents advi ce to the Ministers on how
to help sport. As they support provision of the sport in the UK, by aspiring to assist to bring the three
important preferences that the Minister for Sport has established:
1. Support the bid to bring the 2018 World Cup to England
2. Deliver a safe and successful Olympic Games in 2012
3. Achieve a real and sustainable legacy for the 2012 Olympics
Minister for Sport Hugh Robertson aims set out for the DCMS (2010)

Additionally direct the department’s connections with the sports provision in Non-Departmental
Public Bodies (NDPBs) such as Sport England, UK Sport and UK Anti-Doping. While with Sport
England their primary dependable for the increase great levels of participation sport in the UK. Plus
UK Sport produces main sporting competition to the UK through their World Class Events
Programme. As well the DCMS even aids projects which support equal opportunities in all the
sports.
UK Anti-Doping, they are the national body who are in charge for the execution and running of the
UK’s anti-doping strategy. As their role is to make sure the sports bodies in the United Kingdom obey
to the World Anti-Doping Code. The UK Anti-Doping runs with a range of stakeholders, plus
participants, to sustain pure sport. Plus by functioning with participants and sports which increase,
showcase tutoring and the record plans. Along with the testing of further than 40 sports, UK Anti -
Doping carries out management and be accountable for the controlling of anti -doping law
infringements. Since their affiliation with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the Association of
National Anti-Doping Organisations, the Council of Europe and the International Anti-Doping
Agreement being important to UK Anti-Doping’s worldwide actions.
Though with the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), employment is supported through six
precedence subjects: accessibility, employment, equality and inclusion, health, safety and security,
sustainability, and legacy. The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games
(LOCOG) are dependable for arranging and showing London 2012 Games. The International Olympic
Committee (IOC) is the highest influence for Olympic Movement.
UK Sport is the country’s elite functioning sports agency; accountable for spending above £100
million per year in Britain's greatest Olympic and Paralympic athletes through the Exchequer and
National Lottery. Yet for London and ahead of a third run of private sector support - Team 2012 -
supplements this public spending. Therefore UK Sport is responsible to the Government because of
the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. UK Sport have a incredibly understandable remit at
the performance strand of Britain’s sport framework, as they have no aim interest in participation
strand of sport. Although the UK Sport operates with the National Governing Bodies and other
connected establishments which assist them, to create encouraging effective dealings with the
International Federations along with further worldwide organisations.

Whereas the National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs), these are the fundamental
communications establishment for district sport. As their role is to arrange, control and persuade the
nation to get into their sport. However Sport and Recreation Alliance (formerly CCPR) is a company
for the leading and ambassador body of sport and recreation within the United Kingdom. Local
authority is defined as an administrative unit of local government. Therefore the local government is
a great help source for sport which promotes the neighboring area.
British Olympic Association role within sport in
the UK through to 2012
Yet the British Olympic Association is
effective, self-governing influence for British
Olympic Sport. BOA’s responsibility is to train
and direct the countries best athletes’ for the
Olympic Games. Plus BOA has the duty for
increasing the Olympic Movement all over
the United Kingdom. Furthermore BOA
provides widespread assistance provisions to
Britain’s Olympic participants and their
National Governing Bodies during every
Olympic phase which helps them in their
training for and execution at the Games.
Whereas the English Institute of Sport (EIS) runs in collaboration within sport, developing execution
via the method of great excellence in sport science and medical maintenance for elite performers.
Since a contribution supported organisation by UK Sport, Olympic and Paralympics Sports they’re
capable to connect with the EIS throughout their World Class Programme. For instance the EIS
encourages the competitors of forty nine National Governing Bodies (NGB's) of sports, these be
professional sports Sport England funded Paralympic and Olympic games. The EIS’s numerous
connections which help to increase elite sport in England, through the public funders, sport partners
and product partners. Thus creating advantages for athletes to reach their optimum performance for
competition through use of sports medicine, physiotherapy, sports massage, applied physiology,
strength and conditioning, nutrition, psychology and performance lifestyle support.
Additionally Sport England, government’s agency in charge for bringing a world class neighborhood
sport structure. They function strongly with the National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGB’s) to
provide the policy, plus operate in affil iation with the local authorities. For example the Sport

England Strategy 2009-2013 concentrates on sport not sport and active recreation. Sport England
will even offer world domination of community level sport. Their funding comes from the National
Lottery and Exchequer.
Also previously recognised as the English Sports Council, they perform in company with UK Sport
who is dependable for elite victory. Plus with the Youth Sport Trust they concentrate on PE and
school sport. All accountable to Parliament through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport;
includes a position of looking after sports as a legal discussion on development requests these
influence playing fields. Consequently produce sport prospects in each neighborhood through
centering on increasing and supporting involvement with sport and developing ability progress.
Nevertheless they just finance sports or governing bodies which are familiar by every one of the
United Kingdom's sport councils.
While the County Sports Partnerships (CSP’s) are devoted to functioning jointly to enhance
involvement in sport/physical movement. There are forty nine County Sports Partnerships in the
network that are dependable for coordinating sport over England. Since the CSP’s local networks
consists of;
The School Sport Partnerships (SSPs) is a set of schools that run jointly which increases Physical
Education and the sporting chances for every youthful group.
SSCo Partnership (Youth
Sport Trust 2010)
Local Authorities
National Governing Bodies
Clubs
Schools And School Sport Partnerships
Primary Care Trusts
Other Neighboring Agencies

Whereas Primary Care Trust (PCT), there’s presently one hundred fifty one Primary Care Trusts in
England. A PCT will operate with local authorities and further agencies which offer healthiness and
social care nearby making certain the neighborhood's requirements are being reached. As with
Clubmark accreditation this is assisted through the forty nine County Sports Partnerships (CSPs) over
the country. Simply clubs which are joined to a Sport England known NGB’s are able to achieve
Clubmark certification.
Still Youth Sport Trust is a self-governing charity amid an operation to make a positive prospect for
youngsters throughout sport and PE. Since paying attention on creating a dominate world PE and
sport structure which motivates and connects every youth no matter their age or skill. Youth Sport
Trust encourages five hundred and one Sports Colleges and Academies covering England. These
schools employ their program interest in sport which increases values, accomplishments and success
over each topic. Various Sports Colleges and Academies as well work as center locations for an
arrangement of four hundred and fifty School Sport Partnerships. Therefore with sport it begins
innovative behaviors for youngsters to direct and volunteer within sport.
Whereas English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS), a charity who is dependable for the support
and improvement of sport chances for every disabled individual in England. For example running
directly with the National Disability Sports Organisations (NDSOs) familiar with Sport England
increasing sport openings for the eleven million disabled people in England:
BALASA
British Blind Sport
CP Sport
Dwarf Sports Association UK
Mencap Sport
Special Olympics
UK Deaf Sport
WheelPower - British Wheelchair Sport
SportscoachUK; are a UK-registered charity which back forty six sport National Governing Bodies and
the forty nine County Sports Partnerships. Their work is vital for the Youth Sport Trust for rising
experienced coaching in schools, Sport England to reach their participation aims in societies and UK
Sport for development of great performing participants and London 2012 Games legacy. This is done
by sustaining and facing their associates to progress their coaching schemes and develop their

involvement to a consistent UK coaching structure. Increasing coach knowledge and backing which
matches sports particular plans and supports with community guidelines. Finally offer
studies and fine performance which promotes coaching.
Significant Recent And / Or Proposed Changes (Such As Funding or Strategic Thinking
about the Place of Sport in Society) To the Sport Industry
Within the Conservative’s before voting strategy their file pledged to be the cause of Sport England,
UK Sport and Youth Sports Trust will be all together, yet to keep their own split selves. Although
after the 2010 General Election formed a Conservative-Liberal coalition in which they made available
an assessment of the Non-Departmental Public Body’s (NDPB’s). An example of this is a recent
proposed changes happening to the Sport Industry is the merging of UK Sport and Sport England.
This is supposedly going to create a more successful structure which provides elite sport
achievement along with a further sporting legacy from the London 2012 Games.
For instance on 26th July 2010 "Today's statement builds upon the Minister's previous
announcement of the location of UK Sport and Sport England under a single roof," said Sport
England's Chairman Richard Lewis. The Conservatives' pre-election policy document promised to
bring Sport England, UK Sport and the Youth Sports Trust under a single roof but to retain their
separate identities. "The news that the Department is planning to merge UK Sport with Sport
England goes further than we had previously expected," said UK Sport Chair, Baroness Sue Campbell.
Consequently UK Sport and Sport England starting to merge together the government published;
The two sporting organisations become one so that it slices away the administration.
The combination wish to 'create a more effective structure to deliver success'
A quango is basically a business that is capable of operating autonomously of the government which
invests into it. Yet the United Kingdom’s government explanation in 1997 of a Non -Departmental
Public Body (NDPB) or quango was; “A body which has a role in the processes of national
government, but is not a government department or part of one, and which accordingly operates to
a greater or lesser extent at arm's length from Ministers.” Therefore in the United Kingdom a Non-
Departmental Public Body (NDPB) this is frequently known as a quango.

Relevant Legal and Regulatory Frameworks
The National framework for Sport, achieve England an Active and Successful Sporting Nation. The
idea for 2020 was announced by Sport England during 2004. The preparation of nationwide policy
states: ‘…improvements should be made to planning frameworks to ensure that provision for sport is
included ’. The must for principles of sport organisations existed firstly recognised during the 2000
National Action Plan for Child Protection in Sport. Early efforts were done by Sport England
Governing Body Services, with discussion with stakeholder sets. Afterwards it was advanced and
assembled on through the Sport Task Force on Policy and Standards.
Since original editions of the principles were accepted by NSPCC, Sport England and the Sports
Minister in September 2002 was announced February 2003. Additionally standard ten reveals the
alterations in sport and increasing responsibility various sport organisations which control the
provision of regional sport. During this sport organisations include the prospect to support and
endorse the approval and execution of procedures of safeguarding youngsters with partner
organisations.
Furthermore Sport England has completed functioning regarding reaching the principles a provision
of funding support moreover they’re compulsory for National Governing Bodies and County Sport
Partnerships. Besides Sport England extensively been employed amid policy progression this
encourages the benefit of sport and leisure at regional, sub-regional and local stages. Sport
England's thirty guidelines aims for sport and leisure involving: resource provision and safety, sport
in the built-up borders, broad countryside, authorised points plus the running of sport services.
Although the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA) involves protection the health safety and
welfare of individuals at work and ones influenced by work performances. Relevance to Private
Members Clubs: control subjected through the Health and Safety Commission under Section 18 of
the Health and Safety at Work. While sports equity it’s concerns shifting the culture and structure of
sport to guarantee that it develops similarly available to each participants of civilisation whatever
their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality or socio-economic status.
Likewise safeguarding of children in sport and protecting vulnerable adults through the Every Child
Matters Agenda certifies every youngster is protected and clubs include legal obligation. Plus they’re
dependable to safeguarding and caring the children. Consequently when employing its required a
Criminal Records Bureau check. Preceding to 2002 the entry to police checks was mostly limited to
organisations in the legal division for staff which included considerable unverified entrance to

children. The CRB check allows numerous extra groups to enter the checks as component of fine
employment way.
Yet organisations have lawful requirements whenever it reaches to the gathering and utilising of
individual information offer by anyone undertaking in actions through the Data Protection Act. The
DPA has eight principles which are;
1) Fairly and lawfully processed
2) Processed for limited purposes
3) Adequate, relevant and not excessive
4) Accurate and up to date
5) Not kept for longer than is necessary
6) Processed in line with your rights
7) Secure
8) Not transferred to other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) without
adequate protection.
Also as SportscoachUK and National Governing Bodies for participant sports is the major position
spot for Level 2 qualifications. Since coaching it reaches the UK Coaching Framework with familiar
known levels for every sport. Furthermore when possessing an emergency first aid certificate can
offer emergency medical treatment for somebody who is ill or injured, given before more thorough
medical attention can be obtained.
Conclusion
Through this assignment I was able to see how intricate the Sport Industry is currently organised in
the United Kingdom. Consequently increase my understanding of the hierarchy arrangement of the
sport sector in the UK. From the managing to the developing side of sport to all the different
organisations involved which all link together helping to sustain sport. Since thi s is done currently
efficiently and effectively through the government’s rules, regulations, laws and their political
structures which update and encourage the approach of offering sport to different ages and abilities
across the country. Although with the some planned major current transformations to sport with
the funding and the operation of sport may possibly change the face of sport in society towards the
in the coming years of UK’s sport industry after the London 2012 Games for better or worse I’m no t
too sure.
