Closed Require all sports clubs publish plans for tackling racism

Closed on

We believe it should be a legal requirement for all sports clubs to publish plans setting out how they plan to tackle racism.

Players' mental health can be hugely impacted by racism in sport. However, despite us contacting a number of local football clubs (both grass roots and Premier League) none were able to communicate their anti-racist strategy to us. We believe this is unacceptable considering that during the 2019-20 season, there was a reported 42% increase in reports of discrimination. How are we to know what is being done to tackle this and to support our national players, if clubs do not tell us what they are doing to protect them.
