Sports Governance
Advisory work strengthening the governance, integrity and accountability of federations, ministries and sporting bodies.
Division B conducts governance audits and maintains a published governance standard and self-assessment toolkit for federations and clubs, supports institutional design including the functional separation of regulatory administration from independent dispute resolution and convenes a standing multi-stakeholder advisory forum with defined athlete representation.
This includes integrity and safeguarding policy support delivered alongside not in place of mandated anti-doping and law-enforcement bodies, and a standing research, awareness and capacity-building function on athlete protection delivered jointly with Division A.
