Dear All,<\/p>\n

Essex Met is publicising its commitment to and support for England Netball’s Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity initiatives and policies. Please see our statement below, which will be included on our website and sent to clubs for information:-<\/p>\n

Netball is a sport for everyone. We celebrate diversity, embrace inclusivity and uphold equality at every level. Discrimination of any kind, whether based on but not limited to race, gender, ability, age or background, has no place in our\u00a0sport. Together, we create a safe, respectful and empowering environment where every player, coach, official, umpire\u00a0and supporter can thrive.<\/p>\n

I would also take this opportunity to remind umpires that, in addition to the specific requirement to comply with the Essex Met rules on being ‘neutral’, umpires are encouraged to avoid umpiring any games where there is, or could be seen to be, any conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
