A message from our current Chair Of The Board
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve as Chair of the Sweaty Betty Foundation and to witness the progress we’ve made together in supporting girls to get active and feel confident. I am so proud of the impact the Foundation has had so far, and of the strong foundations we’ve built for the future. After a hugely rewarding term, I have decided to step back into a trustee role to make space for fresh perspectives and new leadership at this exciting stage in the charity’s journey. I do so with complete confidence in the Foundation’s future, and with huge enthusiasm for welcoming a new Chair to guide it through the next chapter of growth and impact.” – Tamara Hill-Norton

We are seeking people from a variety of backgrounds to join our Policy Approval Panel. The purpose of the panel is to support the Workforce Professional Development Boards (WPDBs) by applying the appropriate scrutiny to the development and review of workforce policies developed by the sport and physical sector supported by CIMSPA.
The Policy Approval Panel will check whether the due process has been followed in the development and review of sector workforce policies such as professional standards, standards for deployment and apprenticeship standards. It will also check the accuracy of said policies, ensuring that anything issued to the WPDBs for approval is accurate and fit for purpose.
It is anticipated that the panel will meet three times per year ahead of the WPDB meetings but if there are no policies for approval of the board, the meeting will not be held.
An initial induction/standardisation meeting will be held in person, thereafter meetings will be held remotely with papers issued for review ahead of the meeting.
