Equal Opportunities Policy

1. TJFC is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all members(*). We require all members, of whatever level or authority, to abide and adhere to this general principle and requirements of The Codes of Practice issued by The Equal Opportunities Commission and Commission for Racial Equality.

2. TJFC commits itself to the immediate investigation of any claims of discrimination and where such evidence is found, a requirement that the practice ceases forthwith, restitution of damage or loss (if necessary) and to investigate any member accused of discrimination.

3. Any member found guilty of discrimination will be instructed to desist forthwith. Since discrimination in its many forms is against The Football Clubs policy, any members offending will be dealt with under the disciplinary procedures.

4. TJFC commits itself to the disabled person whenever possible and will treat such members in aspects of their recruitment and membership in exactly the same manner as other members. The difficulties of their disablement permitting, assistance will be given, wherever possible, to ensure that disabled members are helped in gaining access.

5. Information regarding any disability or special needs of players/coaches will be sought at the time of registration and specific support needs of the person will be discussed with a responsible adult (i.e. parent/carer).

6. TJFC will assist wherever possible members with disabilities, in order to enable full and active participation in the activities of the Club.
