British Triathlon is carrying out a consultation with its stakeholders including members, athletes, volunteers and professional bodies, as part of a review of its transgender inclusion policy.

Experts are also being engaged to inform the ongoing work in developing a policy and appropriate guidance in relation to transgender inclusion in triathlon, aiming to be published later this year.

Andy Salmon, CEO of British Triathlon, said: “Inclusion, fairness and safety are all incredibly important topics and we are passionate about providing the opportunity for voices to be heard to help inform our policy review.

“Triathlon is a sport that can be enjoyed by anyone and as a National Governing Body, British Triathlon understands its responsibility for promoting an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for everyone taking part.”

Members of British Triathlon will be invited to take part in the consultation through a questionnaire and all stakeholders will be contacted directly by British Triathlon.
