In October last year, the FA launched its voluntary Football Leadership Diversity Code (the Code) to drive diversity and inclusion across English football.
At the time of writing, 51 clubs had signed up to the Code. While some clubs have already started putting the Code into practice, for many, the 2021/22 season will be their first season for compliance. In seeking to comply, clubs must be careful to ensure their recruitment practices do not infringe equality legislation.
