The establishment of our Inclusion and Diversity Advisory Group (IDAG) was central to the LTA’s overarching vision to open up tennis to people of all backgrounds and forms a central part of our Inclusion Strategy.
The IDAG brings together a diverse range of lived experience and significant expertise to provide strategic guidance on the implementation of the Inclusion Strategy, and to offer an external perspective on best practice and areas where we, the LTA, can be more inclusive. The group works closely with our colleagues and the independent Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Accessibility (IDEA) working group. The IDEA group, which was set up in February 2021 and which informed the development of the Strategy, continue to provide ideas, suggestions and an operational level consultation forum, which feeds into the IDAG.
Rachel Baillache, LTA Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Inclusion and Diversity Action Group said: “We have been thrilled with the contribution IDAG has made to the LTA's vision of Tennis Opened Up. IDAG has provided us with guidance, challenge and also insight into the work of other organisations in sport and further afield. There is no doubt that this external perspective and the lived experience of IDAG members has strengthened our efforts to truly open up our sport. We now have the opportunity to add to the group and bring additional fresh perspectives and expertise to our work”
