Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Equality of opportunity is a basic human right and Durham FA actively opposes all forms of discrimination.
Durham County
FA recognises that individuals and communities may experience
unlawful discrimination on the grounds of their sex, age, disability, ethnicity
(including nationality and race), gender-reassignment, sexual orientation,
religion and belief, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership
status (from Equality Act 2010). Individuals, families and communities may also
encounter socio-economic challenges which can affect participation.
We celebrate diversity within society and across
our region and will continue to work to promote and reflect that diversity
within Durham County FA structures and activities is at the
forefront. Durham County FA Board, Staff and members are committed to
increasing opportunity for all and increasing the involvement of all diverse
communities, at all levels of grassroots football, by taking positive steps to
address any barriers. It is essential for equality and inclusion to be
reflected with our project planning, organisation and delivery to
provide opportunities and increase participation.
We will continue
to challenge discrimination of all kinds across grassroots football
to make the game ‘For All’. Every participant has the right to play the game
with confidence and without prejudice, regardless of ability and
background.
Durham County FA will investigate all reports of discriminatory language
and/or behaviour across our football community. If you wish to make a
