REGIONAL football bodies have backed the FA’s campaign to encourage all participants and spectators to report any acts of discrimination they witness within grassroots football.
The ‘Tell Us, We’ll Tackle It’ campaign is being rolled out by every county FA across the country and is designed to put further emphasis on the importance of reporting incidents of discrimination, reassuring people that it makes a tangible difference and that the updated process is simple and effective.
The updated reporting process and website means all completed online forms will be sent directly to the relevant FA and county FA staff so they can begin any investigation process immediately. It also includes FAQs.
“Tackling discrimination is one of our main priorities and it’s absolutely crucial that any spectators or participants who believe that they have been the subject of, or witness to, discriminatory abuse to report it to us,” said Cumberland FA CEO Ben Snowdon.
