ENGAGEMENT  \nTO L  \nBACKGROUND TO THE TOOL  \nBUILDING ONIDEATION  \nThis tool is an outcome of the work led by the Centre for Sport and Human Rights (CSHR) in collaboration with ThinkSport as part ofthe Innovation Booster-Sport & Physical Activity (powered by Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency). Innovation Boosters offer both a space to reflect on ideas and-crucially-a means to provide resources to catalyse their realisation. This tool has therefore been developed in line with this package of support and according to a prescribed budget and timeline.  \nThis Innovation Booster started in October 2023 with an ideation session, which brought together participants from civil society, sponsors, experts, global and regional sports federations to discuss challenges at the intersection between sport, human rights and leadership. The session was based on the recognition that the world of sport needs to move from human rights commitments to implementation and reflect on existing models and practices that are too often based on hierarchical structures and power differentials. Participants discussed how to support anew generation of leaders and ensure their commitment to sustainability, risk management, and remedy for all those impacted by their organisation’s activities. Collectively, they pinpointed one critical gap in the path towards converting the vision for responsible sport into reality, namely  \nthe need for a sport-specific tool and guidance on how to conduct trusted and meaningful engagement with people (potentially) affected by day-to-day sport activities and events.  \nDrawing on lessons and insights from institutional practitioners in sport, the event industry, the wider private sector, affected persons representatives and those with lived experience, academia and other experts, CSHR and ThinkSport aimed to build a generic and practical tool to help answer the question:  \nHow can sports organisations better consult and meaningfully engage with (potentially) affected persons and other relevant stakeholders?  \nPrimarily designed for sport organisations and sporting event hosts/organisers, this tool aims to acknowledge and highlight the necessity for cultural and leadership change on stakeholder engagement and to serve as a baseline to further develop initiatives fostering meaningful engagement in sport.  \nMETHODOLOGY BEHIND THE TOOL  \nCSHR developed the following methodology to populate and build this tool.  \nCONDUCT A BENCHMARK MAPPING EXERCISE OF TOOLS & INDUSTRY GOOD PRACTICE  \n\n| This exercise aimed to understand the current framework for stakeholder engagement in sports and other industries, including standards like AA1000 AccountAbility Principles or ISO 20121:2024 requirements. It was informed by desk research, an online survey, and interviews of organisations leading/facilitating/or participating in stakeholder engagement. Our research covered key aspects of engagement, such as planning, stakeholder mapping, or reporting. We analysed lessons learnt, good practice, challenges from experiences in sport and other industries with a critical and people-centred approach. This exercise was an essential first step in scoping the tool and understanding how current engagement should evolve towards more responsible, meaningful, trauma-informed and human rights-based practices.\u003Cbr>INTERVIEW RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS, INSTITUTIONS & EXPERTS |\n| --- |\n| Our research served as a basis for a second range of interviews aimed to clarify how to align engagement with the needs of (potentially) affected persons and other relevant stakeholders. Experts, civil society, researchers and representatives of affected or vulnerable groups guided us in identifying how notions of human rights due diligence and other relevant human rights standards should apply to engagement. This important phase also allowed us to have an indepth reflection on the role of transparent, responsible and innovative leadership to ensure meaningful engagement.\u003Cbr","cbCaihNhb2g2VDNj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihNhb2g2VDNj","pdf",390686,"English","# Background to the Tool\n## Methodology behind the Tool\n### Conduct a Benchmark Mapping Exercise of Tools & Industry Good Practice\n### Interview Relevant Stakeholders, Institutions & Experts\n### Build an Interim Report\n### Build a Tool with Inputs from Committee & Expert Reviewers","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the tool aim to address?\",\"answer\":\"The tool addresses a critical gap in turning the vision for responsible sport into reality through guidance for trusted and meaningful engagement with people potentially affected by sport activities and events.\"},{\"question\":\"Who developed the tool and in what programme context?\",\"answer\":\"CSHR developed the tool with ThinkSport as part of the Innovation Booster–Sport \\u0026 Physical Activity, powered by Innosuisse.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the methodology for the tool developed?\",\"answer\":\"The process included benchmark mapping of stakeholder engagement practices, interviews with relevant stakeholders and experts, drafting an interim report with principles and sample questions, and adapting it through committee and external reviewer feedback.\"}]","Background to the Tool - Building a Sport-Specific Methodology for Trusted Engagement | PDF",1790350362]
