Since the launch of Judo For All 2023–2027, our strategy has played a central role in shaping the journey of JudoScotland and the wider judo community across the country.
Over the course of this strategic cycle, the framework has guided how we support clubs to achieve and embed Three Steps Safe standards, invest in the development of people at all levels of the sport, and grow judo sustainably across Scotland. At its heart, the strategy has focused on creating positive, welcoming, and inclusive environments where judoka can thrive, on and off the mat.
To bring this journey to life, we invite you to watch the Judo For All 2023–2027 video, which highlights the purpose, progress, and impact of the strategy so far.
Learning from the Journey
As we approach the final stages of the current strategic cycle, this is an important moment to reflect on the journey so far. The ‘Judo For All’ strategy has provided a strong, effective framework for our work, guiding progress across participation, workforce development, and pathways within the sport.
The experiences, challenges, and successes of recent years give us valuable insight into what is working well and where our collective efforts have had the greatest impact. This learning allows us to build confidently on a robust and relevant strategy, rather than reinventing it.
By reflecting on what we’ve learned, we are well placed to look ahead and consider where JudoScotland should best focus its efforts in the next strategic cycle, continuing to support clubs, develop our workforce, and strengthen pathways for participants, volunteers, coaches, officials, and leaders across judo.
Your Voice Matters
As we look ahead, we will be engaging with our membership to gather feedback on the current strategy, specifically to help identify priority areas for focus and development in the next cycle.
Your views will play a vital role in shaping how we build on the ‘Judo For All’ strategy, ensuring our efforts remain targeted, impactful, and aligned with the needs of our community, and that judo continues to grow in safe, positive, and sustainable ways.
