Governance of Women's Sport: Developing structures that are fit for purpose

Designed for those seeking to understand the unique governance demands of women's sport, this introductory course examines why simply transplanting structures from men's sport is inadequate. It explores the challenges and opportunities specific to women's sport, covering topics including board leadership, duty of care, safeguarding, and emerging governance models. The programme draws on contributions from a wide range of practitioners, including representatives from the Women's Sport Trust, Liverpool FC Women, Sport and Recreation Alliance, Safe Sport International, and the Commonwealth Games Federation.

The course is delivered entirely online by InSport Education and comprises approximately 5.5 hours of recorded video content across six lessons, making it completable in a day or less. Sessions are led by an expert panel of sports lawyers, governance consultants, and senior executives with backgrounds spanning UK Sport, The FA, SIGA, and the NSPCC. No specific qualification or formal credential is listed as an outcome of the course.
