Things to Think About
Welcome to our Things to Think About (
TTTA
) self-help tool.
This tool sets out the standards we assess in our core-funded sports bodies and provides prompts
or Things to Think About in relation to the principles that support
those standards.It also provides links to some other specialist
websites, which may be of help to you and your
organisation.
The Things to Think About self-help tool can
be used by all those involved in governing and managing sport, from
your Board and senior managers to your finance staff and those who
are involved in putting organisation-wide policies in place.
This tool is not an off-the-shelf package that
gives instant answers and solutions. Instead, for our core-funded
sports bodies it provides a year-round resource which we hope will
help you to constructively challenge how you do things as you
continue to improve and develop your organisations.
It can also be used by non core-funded sports bodies, at all
stages of development, to help you build up your governance,
finance and wider control frameworks (including, for example, HR
and strategic planning) and may also be useful for sports bodies
who are applying to Sport England for recognition as national
governing bodies of sport (
NGBs
) under the sports councils'
joint National Recognition Policy.

recognition process and application criteria
We fully appreciate that organisations
(whether they are
NGBs
or other bodies in the
sports system) vary in their legal status, size, complexity and
capacity and that the best ways for you to govern and control your
organisation will accordingly depend on your particular
circumstances. We suggest that you use this tool in a way that
works for your organisation and is proportionate to your
organisation’s needs.
