How does the tool work?
Trained facilitators help your organisation work through the tool and produce an assessment report. The tool is supported by a five-step development process as follows:
The tool is offered in three different versions, supporting National Sport Organisations, Regional Sport Organisations and Clubs. All are based on the six-module framework outlined below. This ensures every facet of your organisation is assessed.
How can you take advantage of the tool?
Assessments are led by trained facilitators. A network of facilitators is located within Sport NZ, Regional Sports Trusts and some National Sport Organisations.
Assessments are generally undertaken at no charge, but opportunities are limited and facilitators will advise availability.
If you are a Club or Regional Organisation, you can find out more by contacting your Regional Sports Trust or your National Body.
If you are a National Organisation, contact your Sport NZ Relationship Manager for more information on undertaking or having staff trained as facilitators within your sport.
