Guidance Groups

An elite group of players, campaigners and administrators were recruited by Kick It Out in July 2013 to help shape the campaign’s future work.

The groups all work closely with the staff team and Trustees.

Members of the groups scope out opportunities for the campaign, eliciting and sharing best practice on how Kick It Out can deal with discrimination, in all its forms, across all levels of the game, as effectively as possible.

The groups, led by their Chair, meet quarterly to advise on current issues pertaining to their specific areas.

Find out more about each of the groups below.
