Kick it Out

Kick It Out aims to eliminate discrimination in football. It was founded in 1993 and has been at the forefront of discrimination in the game ever since.

As a parent on the No1Fan platform, it’s important to know that the charity, Kick It Out has a range of resources available to help you and your child navigate any issues related to discrimination in football.

Here are some key points to know about Kick It Out’s work:

• The charity provides education and training to players, coaches, and fans to raise awareness about discrimination and how to tackle it.
• They operate a reporting app and hotline where incidents of discrimination can be reported anonymously.
• Kick It Out also works closely with football authorities, clubs, and players to promote equality and inclusion within the game.

As a parent or carer, you play an important role in promoting equality and respect within football. Kick It Out is here to support you and your child in this mission, and we encourage you to explore their resources further.
