Memorandum submitted by UK Sport
PROPOSED TOPIC
AREAS FOR
UK SPORT
Performance
— Our role as the Government body responsible
for delivering Olympic and Paralympic success through provision
of National Lottery and Exchequer funds: therefore the public
body responsible for delivering medal success in 2012.
— Our additional responsibility for
the "high performance pathway" following the recent
restructuring announcement from DCMS. What it means in terms of
"one front door" for Governing Bodies and the improved
streamlining of the system to ensure UK success.
— Performance planning: determining
the goals for 2012, in conjunction with BOA/BPA. The formal delivery
of the 2012 Performance Plan in November 2005—its goals,
ambitions contents.
— Determining our performance in 2012:
— Medal Targets (the options, from where
we are now to the best we can ever hope to achieve); and
— participation (the options for including
at a home games those sports not currently represented at Olympic
and Paralympic level).
— Talent Identification and the athlete
numbers required to meet those goals in seven years' time.
— The model used to calculate the funding
required for 2012—including the "No Compromise"
agenda now at the heart of our approach to all public funding
decisions.
— The key additional services that
we offer to provide truly world class, domestic support to our
athletes: eg CPD, medical, technical and innovation work.
Other Issues
— Major Events: the need to support
and fund increased events in the build up to 2012, both to test
new venues and ensure the capability of the infrastructure and
officials.
— International relations: initial
opportunities to build on the success of the Bid to improve the
number of UK officials serving on International Sporting federations;
and the number of IF meetings held in the UK.
— International Development through
Sport: the opportunity to tie our increased profile and responsibility
in this area to the key international message of the London bid.
— Drug Free Sport: Delivery of an effective
anti-doping programme: need both to ensure increased capacity
to test in the run-up to and during the Games and also continue
to lead the education of athletes. In the UK and internationally
in the fight against drugs in sport.
