The latest phase of the initiative – with the support of the division’s clubs, fans, the FA, EFL, PFA, Kick It Out and the police – will be visible at all league matches from October 19 to 27, emphasising that racist conduct is not tolerated and urging supporters to take action.
The message is clear: ‘If you see it, report it.’
Ongoing work includes reviewing how offenders are identified, investigated and sanctioned, while education also takes place through rehabilitation programmes.
Senior stewards have been trained in evidence gathering at matches through the use of technology – such as increased CCTV coverage at grounds and bodycams – to inhibit offending behaviour and aid the identification of offenders.
