Description: The study uses data from the 2023 Survey Series on People and their Communities to shed light on the prevalence of perceived unfair treatment, racism or discrimination within the wider sports community, which included those in athletic and non-athletic roles, including spectators. Contextual information surrounding unfair treatment, racism or discrimination in community sports was also explored, such as the motivations for discrimination, and the types of discriminatory behaviour that victims experienced. The study also examined broader perceptions about racism and discrimination in community sports among those in athletic roles, including sports participants’ confidence in the training of sports personnel to prevent and address incidents of racism and discrimination.
