British Orienteering is committed to creating an inclusive environment that will provide opportunities and enjoyment for everyone.
British Orienteering has developed this competition policy with respect to participation by trans individuals. This includes anyone whose gender identity or expression is different to the sex assigned to them at birth, including (but not limited to) people who identify as transgender, transsexual, gender-fluid or non-binary.
In developing this policy, we have taken account of scientific research, the International Orienteering Federation (“IOF”) Transgender Policy, the UK’s Sports Councils Guidance for Transgender Inclusion in Domestic Sport, discussions that we have had with several partner NGBs, the UK Supreme Court ruling in April 2025 and legal advice.
