Rowing community support

This panel discussion will consider the importance of diversity and inclusion across all rowing clubs, and the small changes that could lead to a big difference in culture and accessibility in your club. Jacqui Traynor, British Rowing's Anti-Doping and Integrity Officer, and previously deaf rower, will discuss with other coaches and rowers their work to embrace individuals across the spectrum of diversity, and break down the barriers in front of age, disability, BAME, socio-economic backgrounds and LGBTQ+. At the end of the session, there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the speakers.

🗣️ Speakers: Nick Steel (Club Captain, and Adaptive rowing coach, Maidenhead RC),  Steve Bloyce (Athlete at Maidenhead RC), Miki Lee Dale (Community Learning and Development Coach, Clydesdale ARC), Jess Harris (HRRCT Coach - Dorney Boat Club), Aba Carboo (Club Captain, Putney Town Rowing Club) & Emma Diserens (Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at EngineeringUK and rower/cox at Putney Town Rowing Club)
