  1. Breaking Barriers: Lessons in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion from Football’s Career Challenges

    OCT 15 · BONUS

    Breaking Barriers: Lessons in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion from Football’s Career Challenges

    For black footballers, progression into managerial roles is still proving challenging.  According to research by the Black Footballers Partnership, over 40% of Premier League footballers and more than 30% of Football League footballers were black in 2021 but just 4% of managerial roles were held by black people. Why are black footballers facing these barriers? What changes are organisations like the Black Footballers Partnership forcing? And why is it important that organisations get equality, diversity and inclusion right – both in and out of sport? In this bonus episode of Business But Better, Elise Sherwell – a double Olympic bronze medal rower turned associate solicitor in our Real Estate team – is joined by Elaine Huttley, our National Head of Employment, and Delroy Corinaldi, co-founder of the Black Footballers Partnership.
