Equality, Diversity & Inclusion 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement

At North Riding County Football Association we are committed to promoting equality and diversity in all areas of our work.

We will not accept any form of discrimination and will ensure all individuals and groups associated with our organisation are treated equally and fairly.

We will endeavour to eradicate discrimination in our county across all nine protected characteristics; Age, Disability, Sex, Religion and Belief, Race, Sexual Orientation, Gender Reassignment, Pregnancy and Maternity and Marriage and Civil Partnership.

This statement is applicable to all employees, volunteers, partner organisations and members of the football family who are involved with our organisation, at all levels.

We are committed to working in partnership with organisations throughout our county to support each other to eliminate discrimination in our game.
