Equality Inspires was launched by Kick It Out and the Premier League with the aim of delivering equality and inclusion training for clubs’ young players, staff and parents.
The workshops raise awareness on current issues including discrimination, underrepresentation and stereotypes within the game.
Kick It Out’s education manager Troy Townsend joined mentor and ex-professional footballer Marcus Gayle as they talked about their experiences of equality and discrimination in the game to help educate the Academy staff based in Kirkby.
Kick It Out has worked closely with the club for a number of years and focuses on promoting the message of equality, inclusion and anti-discrimination through the Academy programme.
