Which of the following is NOT a barrier-reduction measure for minority groups in sport?

• A. Local groups should develop a sense of social inclusion through sports and activities
• B. Open cultural attitude and relaxation of rules for participation of certain cultures
• C. Au pair support
• D. Affordable programs

Answer: (C)

The key idea is removing obstacles that stop minority groups from taking part in sport. Strategies that reduce barriers focus on inclusion, adapting cultural practices, and making sport affordable and accessible.

Developing a sense of social inclusion through sport helps people feel welcome, reduces fear of discrimination, and builds community support, which makes it easier for minority groups to join in and stick with activities.

Adopting an open cultural attitude and relaxing rules for participation address cultural or religious barriers. When participation rules are sensitive to different cultures, more people can take part without compromising their values or identity.

Affordable programs directly tackle financial barriers, making sport reachable for families and individuals who might otherwise be unable to afford equipment, fees, or travel.

Au pair support, while helpful for family logistics, does not directly reduce the barriers to sport participation for minority groups. It doesn’t address inclusion, cultural access, or cost barriers in the same targeted way.

So the item that isn’t a barrier-reduction measure is the au pair support.
