Appendix 1: Stakeholder engagement Overview of the consultation process The AHRC convened eight virtual roundtable consultations and a number of individual interviews with key stakeholders, engaging with over 120 individuals from at least 65 different organisations, covering the following three broad groups of rights-holders: players, coaches and support staff/team entourages; workers (including in supply chains) and volunteers; and spectators and local communities. Two roundtables were also held on cross-cutting issues covering (1) safeguarding and child protection, gender equality and LGBTQI+ rights and (2) disability rights, racial equality and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Two further roundtables were held with federal government agencies and on the human rights legacy of the FWWC2023. The NZHRC conducted seven separate virtual roundtable consultations and engaged with 60 individuals from at least 50 different organisations, in addition to those that participated in the joint consultations. In addition NZHRC held four sessions that focused on priority rights holder groups. These included roundtables dedicated to Māori and LGBTQI+ stakeholders and two cross cutting issue roundtables on (1) safeguarding children, disability rights and gender equity and (2) sexual harm prevention, poverty and homelessness and hospitality worker rights. Joint Trans-Tasman consultations sessions were held by AHRC and NZHRC with stadium managements, current and former players and their representatives, and host cities and state governments. These were conducted where it was considered that a shared voice (for example players) or an opportunity to support Trans-Tasman learning (for example stadia managers and local government) would be beneficial to the stakeholders going forwards. The AHRC and the NZHRC extends its thanks to the following individuals and organisations for their engagement and input into this Human Rights Risk Assessment.
