Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Our vision is to ‘inspire great experiences through swim, bike, run’. This means having an inclusive sport that is accessible to everyone. Triathlon Scotland’s role is to identify and minimise inequalities and any barriers to participation in the sport.

Our values are: we love people; we are ambitious; we are inclusive; we do what’s right.

Commitment
Triathlon Scotland is fully committed to ensuring that the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion underpin every area of the governing body’s work and our delivery of triathlon across Scotland.

We aim to provide a positive and supportive working environment for all our staff and volunteers and take a zero-tolerance approach to bullying, harassment and discriminatory behaviour within the organisation and across the Scottish triathlon community.
