The Premier League and its clubs today discussed enhancing the range of programmes they currently run to promote inclusion and diversity across football.
All clubs agreed that while good work has been undertaken, more needs to be done to ensure BAME fans and players are supported.
They also agreed for pathways to be improved to encourage more people from different backgrounds to take up coaching, refereeing and administrative roles in the sport.
The League will now consult with external stakeholders, including other football bodies, the Government, equality and inclusion groups, and current and former players and managers on the detail of new work we develop in this area.
