Education from an early age
As well as combating racial abuse, the Premier League wants to tackle the problem at root and educate young people about what racism is and its impact on people.
Through the Premier League Primary Stars programme, nearly 11,000 teachers have delivered the No Place for Racism resources, which focus on friendship, racial stereotyping, online abuse and inclusion, to more than 328,000 pupils since the program launched in 2017.
In a recent assessment conducted by EVERFI, 88 per cent of teachers said Premier League Premier Stars helped their pupils to understand more about challenging prejudice and discrimination, and 95 per cent said the project had positively affected their school community.
The impact of Primary Stars' resources was recognized at the ISC International Sports Awards 2023, where PL Primary Stars won the Education Award, which includes recognition for its work on diversity and inclusion.
