§ Dr. CableTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what discussions her Department has had with football authorities and the Department for Education and Skills about raising awareness in schools of racism in sport, with particular reference to football; and if she will make a statement. [76926]
§ Mr. CabornMy Department supports the work of Kick it Out and Show Racism the Red Card, which co-ordinate anti-racism work in football. Both bodies are co-sponsored by the Football Foundation, through which public funding for the sport is channelled. The Department for Education and Skills has worked closely with the two organisations on anti-racist educational resources, including a CD-Rom developed by Show Racism the Red Card which is designed to be compatible with the citizenship module of the national curriculum.
