If you believe that weaknesses in the management of some sports organisations are holding sport back from achieving its potential as a force for good then I Trust Sport is for you.
I Trust Sport works with federations, sponsors, institutions, other bodies and individuals on projects to bring about genuine change.
Assessment design and implementation
I Trust Sport works with institutions, government agencies and individual sports bodies to design and implement governance assessment tools. With extensive experience of working on assessment systems at national and international level, we can help you develop a process which is credible, objective, practical to implement and reflects current best practice.
Independent reviews
I Trust Sport makes use of the well-established ASOIF governance assessment tool, which comprises a set of 50 indicators (like a checklist with scores) divided across five principles:
By working through the indicators with I Trust Sport, federations and governing bodies can carry out a governance audit of the organisation and identify areas for improvement.
I Trust Sport can also conduct independent audits using other governance assessment systems, and develop appropriate recommendations.
Best practice guidance
I Trust Sport provides good practice guidance on governance to federations, governing bodies, other sports organisations and individuals with an interest in the governance of sport.
