Charting successes, changes over time, and opportunities for improvement. 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦. 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: As a sport where female jockeys compete on equal terms with their male counterparts, British racing has been ahead of many other sports in terms of participation. Women are trailblazing at the highest levels competitively and in the boardroom and circa 70% of racing school intake is female. We ask - how can we better support and retain our female workforce, and strive to lead the sport industry in enabling women to succeed? During the discussion our expert panellists will cover: progress and areas to celebrate, what are the gaps, how can the sport retain more of its female workforce and what are the issues? The panel will also explore Dr Eleanor Boden’s PhD research summary ‘Where did all the girls go?’, published in December 2023. This free webinar is available to all, regardless of gender or WiR membership.
