Chettle Court Rangers (Youth) Football Club is committed to a policy of equal treatment of all members and requires all members of whatever level or authority, to abide and adhere to this general principle and the requirements of the Code of Practice issued by the Equal Opportunities Commission and Commission for Racial Equality.
All members are expected to abide by the requirements of the Race Relations Act 1976, Sex Discrimination Act 1986 and Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Specifically, discrimination is prohibited by:
• Treating any individual on grounds of gender, colour, martial status, race, nationality or ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability less favourably than others.
• Expecting an individual solely on the grounds stated above to comply with requirement(s) for any reason whatsoever related to their membership, which are different from the requirements of others
• Imposing on individual requirements that are in effect more onerous on that individual than they are on others. For example, this would include applying a condition which makes it more difficult for members of a particular race or sex to comply than others not of that race or sex.
• Victimisation of an individual
• Harassment of an individual, by virtue of discrimination
• Any other act or omission of an act, which has as its effect the disadvantaging of a member against another, or others, purely on the above grounds. Thus, in the entire Club’s recruitment, selection, promotion and training processes, as well as disciplinary matters, it is essential that merit, experience, skills and temperament be considered as objectively as possible.
Chettle Court Rangers (Youth) Football Club commits itself to the immediate investigation of any claims of discrimination on the above grounds and where such is found to be the case, a requirement that the practice cease forthwith, restitution of damage or loss (if necessary) and to the investigation of any member accused of discrimination.
Any member found guilty of discrimination will be instructed to desist forthwith. Since discrimination in its many forms is against the Football Club’s policy, any members offending will be dealt with under the disciplinary procedure.
The Football Club 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. Appropriate training will be made to such members that request it.
Anti Discrimination Policy
Chettle Court Rangers (Youth) Football Club is responsible for setting standards and values to apply throughout the club at every level. Football belongs to and should be enjoyed by everyone, equally. Our commitment is to confront and eliminate discrimination whether by reason of sex, sexual orientation, race, nationalities.

Our Programmes
We believe in the power of sport and the arts. Participation in Chettle Court Rangers (Youth)FC programmes gives young people a framework which many of them are lacking. It enables the coaches to mentor the young people and develop their life skills, giving them confidence and a more positive outlook for the future with the belief that they can achieve.
They also gain much needed exercise, an outlet for their energy, the discipline which comes from teamwork and competition and self respect.
For many young people, this will be the first coaching they have received in this activity.
We want to enthuse them to engage in regular sporting and art activity.
We offer football, a team of highly qualified coaches who run programmes together with local community leaders and volunteer.
Our Programmes use outstanding facilities, often generously provided by some of the UK’s top independent schools.
If you would like to become a collaborator, enabling us to identify more young people at risk of under achieving, please contact us on 07835866008, or alternatively ccrfc@hotmail.com
