The Australian Human Rights Commission is a key partner of Play by the Rules. They’ve recently released two guidelines that you will find links to in this issue. The first, Let’s talk race: A guideline on how to conduct conversations about racism, is a very practical resource designed to help you start a discussion on a difficult topic—racism. The second is pretty much a world first—Guidelines for the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people in sport. The conversations around this topic have been largely focused on elite sport, but this resource is geared towards community sport. We also profile the work of Belgravia Leisure who have also been busy, and seen great success, with their workforce diversification initiative. There are two ANZSLA articles too, giving you some practical help with implementing policies and codes, and a follow-up article from the September 2017 issue on sport-related concussion. And regular contributor Clyde Rathbone tells a personal tale that taught him a valuable lesson—that winning isn’t everything!
