The FA Respect campaign
what's it all about?Referee recruitment and retention: By tackling abuse towards match officials, we hope to reduce the stream of referees understandably leaving the game. Participation within youth football: Abuse and pressure from the sidelines needs to stop if we are to ensure young children enjoy, stay and progress in the game. Coaching and player development: An encouraging and player-centred approach is vital if we are to improve coaching standards - particularly for the key 5-11 age-group. It's simple: better coaches produce better players. Safeguarding children: Everyone in football has a duty of care towards children - ensuring they are able to play football in a safe, enjoyable environment free of abuse, bullying and discrimination. Improving behaviour is a whole-game issue and the 2008-09 season will see the Respect programme introduced at professional and grassroots levels. To do this, The FA is actively working with the following organisations:
Minister
for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe has lent his support to the Respect programme,
saying: "Football
is the most high profile sport in the world and with the new season
about to start, the game is back in the spotlight. Footballers today are
not just sportsmen,
they are role models for young people around the world. Passion is at
the heart of the game, but being passionate doesn't mean disrespecting
people. It's absolutely crucial that players, coaches, officials and
spectators sign up to Respect. We need to see a commitment to change at
all levels of the sport, and I'm grateful to the FA for leading the
way."
