Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion within Football

Football needs to improve equality, diversity and inclusion in clubs with committed EDI Action Plans regularly assessed by Independent Regulator for English [Pyramid] Football (IREF).
1.IREF should mandate that each club have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, focusing on the organisation’s EDI objectives and how it is going to achieve them, as part of the annual licensing process.
2.The football authorities should work more closely to ensure consistent campaigns across the various organisations, and where possible, pooling resources to increase the impact of these important initiatives.
3.The Government should work with the football authorities to explore the possibility of a new, single repository for reports of discrimination.
4.Please leave any additional comments you may have on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in football and the recommendations outlined above.
