Badminton Victoria's Inclusive and Charter Club programme recognises member clubs who have committed to creating a warm welcome and inclusive environment in one of five areas:
- People with a disability
- Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islanders
- People from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds
- Women and Girls
- LGBTQIA+
Accreditation for Inclusive Clubs
All clubs can attain Inclusive Club status, which demonstrates a club’s commitment to inclusion. Charter Club status takes this one step further and is designed for clubs that wish to deliver specific programmes for the category.
Central to the ICCP is the partnership between clubs and BV, with BV providing the resources to help clubs achieve accreditation as an Inclusive Club.
The programme has been designed to allow clubs flexibility, allowing them to hold a variety of different accreditations. Once a core set of requirements is met, clubs can choose which categories they want to be accredited with. Each category has a specific set of requirements. Because accreditation is based on core requirements, once a club has been accredited in one category, accreditation in additional categories is easy, as only the specific requirements of that category need to be met.
