HEJ Athletic Football Club is responsible for setting standards and values to apply throughout the club at every level. Football belongs to, and should be enjoyed by, everyone equally. Our commitment is to confront and eliminate discrimination on the grounds of any protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 – age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
Equality of opportunity at HEJ Athletic Football Club means that in all our activities we will not discriminate, or in any way treat anyone less favourably, on any of these grounds. This includes:
HEJ Athletic Football Club will not tolerate sexual or racially based harassment or other discriminatory behaviour, whether physical or verbal, and will work to ensure that such behaviour is met with appropriate action in whatever context it occurs.
HEJ Athletic Football Club is committed to developing a programme of ongoing training and awareness-raising events and activities in order to promote the eradication of discrimination within its own organisation and, in the wider context, within football as a whole.
