🗣️ "They have been grateful to listen and do nothing." The Government’s response to the consultation on the Football Governance White Paper confirms the scope of an independent regulator will not include equality, diversity and inclusion. Read➡️levelplayingfield.org.uk/new…
Text reads: “The lack of consideration for disabled fans in the Football Governance White Paper is shameful. “The Government has shared its gratitude towards engagement during the consultation. Where Level Playing Field and disabled fans are concerned, they have been grateful to listen and do nothing."

Sport has the power and privilege of uniting a community. It also allows disabled people and thier families to take their rightful place in that community. If we #UniteForAccess and showcase what can be done we can make this more of a reality, where disabled fans are included.

Why is a campaign like #UniteForAccess so important? This is why ⬇️🙌 The more we showcase the good work that clubs do like @WBA and promote the positive impact of watching live sport for disabled fans then we will, see greater inclusion. @EFL | @EFLTrust | @WBAFoundation
