Message from the CEO

Welcome                   Kia ora and welcome to our new look InterAktive, with an
                          update on The Auckland Approach to Community Sport,
                          case studies from our key partners, and snapshots on
                          different areas of our work across Tāmaki Makaurau.

                          Social cohesion is proving increasingly important in our community.
SARAH SANDLEY             From a sense of belonging and ability to express personal identity, social
Chief Executive Officer   cohesion is a critical cornerstone in society, and key to individuals and
                          communities achieving their potential.

                          As the bond or ‘glue’ that binds people, a socially cohesive society
                          considers the wellbeing of all its members and creates a sense of
                          belonging. Sport and recreation plays a substantial role in this – which
                          is why we are focused on and committed to equity and increased
                          opportunities for target population groups, specifically young people
                          (aged 5-18 years), girls (aged 10-18 years), Indian, Māori, Chinese and
                          Samoan ethnicities.

                          To enable this, we have a number of structures in place to work
                          collaboratively with others and these groups. These include existing
                          diversity policies and activities; the Aktive Māori Advisory Group which
                          contributes to our strategic focus; the regional scaling of the increasingly
                          popular ActivAsian that encourages growing participation in the Asian
                          community; and HERA – Everyday Goddess, focused on engaging 10-
                          18 year old girls in sport and recreation.

                          To be relevant, Aktive needs to reflect Auckland. So, we were delighted
                          to be awarded the CQ (Cultural Intelligence) Tick from the Superdiversity
                          Institute – the first sport and recreation organisation to receive the
                          acknowledgement. The CQ Tick Programme measured the existing
                          level of cultural intelligence and capability of our team so that gaps and
                          strengths could be identified, addressed and built on to increase CQ.

Aktive’s coaching team has also been working
hard behind the scenes developing comprehensive
resources, training and support for ‘how to coach
coaches.’ This programme sees coach developers
informed and educated who then go on to support
the development of grassroots coaches in their
code across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Based on this approach, Auckland Cricket created
a Coach Development Manager role in 2018,
supporting this programme and creating their own
coach developers to deliver in the community.

With our support, the team at Auckland Cricket is
looking to further advance the role next season.

  possible, starting with our Child Protection Policy and Diversity Policy:

  Child Protection Policy: Keeping Children Safe in our Community
     The Child Protection Policy was founded to safeguard the welfare of children by
    identifying and responding vulnerability, child abuse and neglect in an effective and
      efficient manner. Staff and volunteers will work together to demonstrate strong
 organisational child protection culture to ensure that the rights of children are respected.

    Workplace Diversity & Inclusion and Non-Discrimination Policy
 The Diversity Policy provides a framework to ensure all employees, contractors (being an
 organisation or person with a contract for services) and Board members have a clear and
consistent understanding of Aktive ’s approach and commitment to diversity and inclusion.
