Equality, Diversity And Inclusion Policies & Updates

England Hockey strives to ensure that our game is played, watched, delivered, governed and enjoyed by all. We are committed to the principles of fair treatment for everyone, embracing

differences and creating a culture where everyone is welcome. 

Hockey is proud to be a team sport with equal participation in terms of gender, and with excellent opportunities for our Flyerz community.  We are committed to moving towards a Board which

is both gender balanced and diverse. 

England Hockey recognises the need to listen, engage and understand our membership and this is central to our work in the short term and will allow us to inform our longer-term plans. Our

commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion is genuine and long-term, so if you have any ideas on how to make our sport more diverse and inclusive, please email

[email protected] and we will listen.
