The Principles of Good Governance for Sport and Recreation

The Principle of Good Goverance for Sport and Recreation is a refreshed version of the Voluntary Code, created with practical guidance and case studies, and championing those that used them successfully. Good governance isn’t about box-ticking, and it isn’t just about funded organisations.

Good governance is comparable and flexible to any size organisation - it's about:

• taking a proactive approach to managing your organisation, identifying your goals and implementing effective strategies to achieve them
• defining roles and relationships to help your organisation operate efficiently, and getting the right people to carry out those roles
• making sure your members are adequately represented, that the organisation is accountable and that everyone involved acts with the highest integrity; protecting your reputation.
