Equity, Equal Opportunities And Fair Treatment Policy Summary

The English Ladies’ Golf Association (ELGA) aims to ensure that all people irrespective of their age, gender, ability, race, religion, ethnic origin, creed, colour, social status or sexual orientation have a genuine and equal opportunity to participate in women’s golf. That is, as a beginner, player, official, or spectator.

It is the aim of ELGA to ensure that all present members, potential members, and employees of ELGA receive fair and equitable treatment. It is therefore the aim of ELGA to provide all its services in a way that is fair and equitable to everyone.

In its relationships with its members and employees, and in the provision of its services, ELGA also aims not to disadvantage any individual by imposing any conditions or requirements that cannot be justified.

In pursuance of this policy, ELGA may take special measures or positive action in favour of any group that is currently underrepresented in its membership, representative bodies or its workforce.

ELGA reserves the right to discipline any members or employees of ELGA who are considered to have practiced any discrimination on the grounds set out in the Policy.

The Policy will be monitored and evaluated on an ongoing basis by ELGA and the full policy is available from the ELGA Office.
