Mission 2012 - The Next Steps

UK Athletics has put itself forward as a pilot sport for the Mission 2012 process and work is set to commence this week as part of that exercise. This work willhelp ensure that the self-assessment process has been fully road-tested before the project gets underway in earnest in the autumn.

However every sport and stakeholder in the project will have the opportunity to be consulted and comment on the proposed process – Mission 2012 is an inclusive project that UK Sport is eager to ensure has the buy-in of all those involved.

The key dates going forward are:

October

Following the Panel meetings, UK Sport's PPCs will feed back to their respective sports on relevant discussions and action within seven days.
