FA RESPECT CAMPAIN

Respect is The FA’s programme to address unacceptable behaviour in football – on and off the pitch. On average, 7,000 referees quit football every year because of the abuse they receive from players and from the sidelines. Lots of children also pack it in because of the attitude and actions of over-enthusiastic and pushy parents.

In response, The FA’s Respect programme was launched to ensure a safe, positive environment in which to enjoy the game.

A number of initiatives have been put in place at Junior Football Level to try to tackle the problem, these include:

  • Spectator "Respect" Barriers. These are placed down one side of the pitch to act as a physical and mental barrier to prevent spectators encroaching upon the pitch.
  • A number of FA videos on behavior were released.
  • Players, Spectator / Parent, Match Officials and Coaches, Team Managers and Club Officials  Codes of Conducts were issued.

KICK IT OUT IS FOOTBALL’S EQUALITY AND INCLUSION ORGANISATION

WORKING THROUGHOUT THE FOOTBALL, EDUCATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SECTORS TO CHALLENGE DISCRIMINATION, ENCOURAGE INCLUSIVE PRACTICES AND CAMPAIGN FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, THE ORGANISATION IS FUNDED BY THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION (FA), THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS’ ASSOCIATION (PFA), THE PREMIER LEAGUE AND THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

A SMALL INDEPENDENT CHARITY, THE ‘LET’S KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALL’ CAMPAIGN WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1993 IN RESPONSE TO WIDESPREAD CALLS FROM CLUBS, PLAYERS AND FANS TO TACKLE RACIST ATTITUDES EXISTING WITHIN THE GAME. KICK IT OUT WAS THEN ESTABLISHED AS A BODY IN 1997 AS IT WIDENED OUT ITS OBJECTIVES TO COVER ALL ASPECTS OF INEQUALITY AND EXCLUSION.
