Resources

Kick It Out can provide resources for events which support the organisation and the key messages of equality and inclusion. 

  • Don't Hate, Educate - UK Youth Parliament

    Dont-Hate-EducateFollowing over 95,000 young people voting that tackling racism and racial discrimination as a priority issue; and Members of Youth Parliament voting to make this the national campaign during the 2015 House of Commons Sitting, the UK Youth Parliament will be working in their communities to reduce racism and racial discrimination through the Don’t Hate Educate campaign.

    Kick It Out is working in partnership with UK Youth Parliament during the campaign to educate young people about the consequences of racial discrimination through a class session toolkit.

    The toolkit provides young people with ideas and content on how to deliver an education session on the topic of racism.

  • #TakeAStand - BUCS

    Take-A-Stand---BUCSDespite the negative impact discrimination and exclusion can have, sport has the power to unite people from different backgrounds.

    Sports teams should be encouraged to lead by example when it comes to challenging discrimination/ exclusion and promoting equality and diversity.

    Kick It Out have teamed up with British Universities and College Sports (BUCS), the governing body for university sport in the United Kingdom, to develop an educational resource for university sports teams to engage with both organisations through the #TakeAStand campaign.

    The resource includes campaigning and training ideas, educational information on challenging discrimination and celebrating diversity, as well as a sample session plan to deliver to teams and plenty more.

    You can view the #TakeAStand booklet here.

  • National Football Museum - Trail Activity Booklet

  • #KlickItOut - Learning Activities

    Educational-ResourceThroughout Euro 2016, Kick It Out ran a campaign looking to challenge and raise awareness of discrimination on social media.

    Along with support from partners including Twitter, Facebook, The Digital Trust, The FA, The Premier League, The English Football League and The PFA, the Klick It Out campaign sought to highlight the consequences of social media abuse and encourage positive action against discrimination online.

    To support Klick It Out, this resource was produced to encourage learning about the campaign’s messages and inspire young people to consider issues around social media and discrimination.

"We have a responsibility as players to give something back and I’m really thankful to be part of this organisation because we can do a lot of good."
Jack Butland, 'Next 20' Ambassador
“A big part of my involvement with Kick It Out stems from my strong admiration for the organisation’s commitment to fairness and equality.”
Clive Tyldesley, football commentator
“It was Kick It Out that convinced the people in football that change was possible.”
Greg Dyke, former FA chairman
“I wanted to thank the campaigners at Kick It Out for their work. I know first-hand how Kick It Out can help.”
Yaya Toure, Manchester City midfielder
“It is important for me in my role as a Kick It Out ‘Next 20’ ambassador to teach young people how to handle discrimination and treat people with respect.”
Romelu Lukaku, 'Next 20' Ambassador
“It is a massive honour for me to be an ambassador for such a great organisation. I think they do great work on and off the field.”
Toni Duggan, 'Next 20' Ambassador
"It really helped me to see that other professional sports people were acknowledging their sexuality. I read about John Amaechi, Gareth Thomas and Tom Daley. They weren't footballers but the fact that they went public gave me the feeling that I was not alone."
Thomas Hitzlsperger, former Aston Villa midfielder
"There was no conflict between religion and the fact that I wanted to play football. I was brought up correctly and in the right way and my parents are very proud of the fact that I am a professional footballer."
Sadio Mané, Liverpool winger
“I think it’s important to share success stories and realise that there are women operating in the game. If it’s something you want to do, you can do it.”
Ffion Eade, Hampshire FA referee
"I've had loads of negative comments from men, especially growing up. It's just boring and old. Times have changed, and they continue to change. Women play football, and they're good at it, and have been for a number of years.”
Kelly Smith, England Women's record goalscorer
"Despite the progress, stereotypes still exist in football and until that is broken down it will be extremely difficult for a woman to manage a top level men's team."
Rachel Yankey, former Arsenal Ladies forward
"There’s no hiding that there is sexism in sport. We have a lack of women right across all levels of management, playing and coaching. It shows the closed nature of sport in general and this includes the media. It’s an indictment of sport as a whole."
Rimla Akhtar, Kick It Out trustee and Chair of the Muslim Women’s Sports Foundation
“I’m proud to be a supporter of Kick It Out and particularly the work they are doing to combat antisemitism within football.”
Joe Jacobson, Wycombe Wanderers midfielder
"With Kick It Out leading the way football is standing up and fighting against those who preach hatred and intolerance and we at Chelsea are proud to support their work."
Bruce Buck, Chelsea Football Club Chairman
