FOUNDATION AWARD
Durham County FA is delighted to announce that the association has been successful in gaining the foundation level of the Equality Standard for Sport.
The National Standard for Equality is a nationally-recognized framework that assists County Football Associations with embedding equality at the highest level of their organisation, and communicating and sharing that commitment with its staff and partners.
It also provides a framework to review how a County FA is organised around equality in relation to its service delivery, workforce, policies, procedures, and legal compliance against the backdrop of The FA's National Game Strategy.
