EQUALITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.

We actively promote Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in our behaviour, practices, and values.

We recognise that Burnley Football Club is an intrinsic part of the local community. Football is for everyone; it belongs to and should be enjoyed by anyone who wants to participate in it, whether as a player, official, staff member or fan.

As fans of Burnley Football Club, we are one family, and regardless of your background, it is fundamental to our values that everyone should be made to feel welcome as supporters of this Club. We are committed, therefore, to confronting and eradicating any form of discrimination, whether it is of race (including ethnic origin, colour, nationality, and national origin), religion or belief, colour, sex, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, age, ethnicity, pregnancy or maternity, disability, or gender reassignment. (Protected characteristics outlined within the Equality Act 2010).

As an employer, we are committed to providing a working environment free from discrimination, bullying, harassment, or victimisation, where all employees, applicants and participants are treated with respect and dignity. It aims to create a culture of diversity, providing a dynamic working and learning environment, where all employees are valued for their contribution and individuality. We truly believe that our employees are custodians of this special club and exhibit our values.

The Club’s official charity, Burnley FC in the Community contributes to the quality of life of many people and has the ability to foster community cohesion throughout the town and wider community. Football also has the unique ability to bring people together from a wide range of different communities and can provide opportunities for all sections of the community to engage with the football club and participate in the community activities provided.

We believe that being inclusive and welcoming is an important part of what will make us unbeatable, and the team that everyone in our community will be proud to support and be associated with.

We are Burnley. We are One Club for All.

Reporting Discriminatory Behaviour

Everyone attending or taking part in a football match has the right to feel safe, valued and included and we encourage supporters to continue to play their part in this.

We would add that for players and staff, the stadium is their place of work, and derogatory abuse is not acceptable there, or anywhere else in football, nor wider society.

Please visit this page to find out how to report any racist or other discriminatory behaviour at a match, around a stadium or on a non-matchday.

Inclusion Advisory Group(IAG)

Our Inclusion Advisory Group (IAG), made up of independent members, helps to ensure the club is open and accessible to people from many different backgrounds. The group acts as a critical friend to ensure our inclusion policies and practices are accurate and relevant. If you are interested in joining this group, please email EDI@burnleyfc.com
