Petition Make the Freedom of Information Act apply to sporting National Governing Bodies
We call on the Government to require all sporting National Governing Bodies (NGBs) to be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. NGBs hold substantial authority over who can participate in grassroots and competitive sports.
More details
We think NGBs make decisions directly affecting the lives and wellbeing of thousands of UK citizens. We feel they operate without transparency of public institutions, they are publicly recognised, receive public money, they impact communities, inclusion, and equality.
We think the public should have a right to access information from bodies that influence our daily lives and use taxpayer money. We think their decisions must be open to scrutiny.
