Inclusion Advisory Group opportunity at Amateur FA
21 October 2019
The Amateur FA is looking for members to join their Inclusion Advisory Group (IAG).
The IAG is key in promoting football for everyone and enables the Amateur FA to increase awareness, understanding and knowledge of inclusion, equality and diversity, so that they will better meet the needs of all their communities who take part in football and ultimately our business.
The IAG will be made up of representatives from across grassroots football with knowledge and experience of specific aspects of equality, diversity and inclusion such as:
- race
- gender equality (not the development of women's football)
- disability equality (not the development of disability football)
- mental health
- LGBT+
- faith communities
The role of the IAG is to:
1. Advance equality of opportunity amongst all their football communities
2. Foster good relationships with and between all their football communities
3. Clarify regulations and sanctions related to discriminatory behaviour
4. Enable transparency and confidence when dealing with matters related to discriminatory behaviour
5. Advice the Amateur FA board
In doing so we aim to:
- Bring a diverse perspective to the AFA
- Set clear targets within our county plan to ensure they meet the needs of the whole of their football community
- Support community engagement, consultations, development programs and disciplinary procedures
- Act as ambassadors for the AFA in their football communities
- Identify any equality issues, support the identification and delivery of solutions
- Promote and encourage the benefits of addressing equality issues within the football community
- Identify key issues and trends that will promote the growth of the game through inclusion and diversity interventions
- Promote inclusion and diversity in football
- Devise, monitor and evaluate CFA secondary key performance indicators for inclusion and diversity
- Meet a minimum of three times a year
