Inclusion & Equity

The subsystem treats inclusion as something you can plan for, measure and improve. Gender equity reporting aggregates participation data across licences, competitions, coaching roles and federation leadership positions. Federations can see at a glance where representation is healthy and where intervention is needed — for instance, plenty of female players at junior level but no female head coaches in the top division.

For para-petanque, the platform manages the classification process: classifiers assess players against the international classification rules, the result is recorded with an effective date and review schedule, and the classification automatically determines event eligibility. An adaptive equipment registry holds approved aids — mechanical throwing devices, wheelchair platforms, custom magnets — so referees at events know what is permitted for which player.

Every federation can register and version its own inclusion policy: anti-discrimination commitments, accessible language, complaint routes, and target indicators. Diversity dashboards visualise the platform's underlying data along multiple axes — age, gender, disability status and geographic spread — without ever exposing individual identities.

Venues, finally, can be assessed against an accessibility audit checklist: parking, paths, toilets, viewing areas, lane access, signage and acoustics. Audit results are stored with the venue profile, so when a competition is being awarded, organisers and federations can see at a glance whether the venue meets the accessibility level required for that event.
