Guest speakers from the Independent Football Ombudsman (IFO) will join disabled fans on Level Playing Field’s upcoming online forum.
The forum will take place 6-7pm on September 26, via Zoom, and is open to disabled and non-disabled fans of all clubs.
The guest speakers will discuss their work in promoting accessibility and fan rights, including through their work at the Rail Ombudsman, and answer questions from fans on the call.
On the IFO, the EFL have said: “their impartial and thorough approach to complaint handling and adjudications provides supporters across our 72 Clubs with an important opportunity to have any unsettled disputes independently reviewed,” while Wembley Stadium have described them as: “a very useful and professional mediatory partner.”
The deadline to register is September 24 and that can be done via the link above, or email Level Playing Field if you require any further information: info@levelplayingfield.org.uk
The Zoom call will also take on the regular function of a Level Playing Field Fans’ Forum. All fans in attendance will have the opportunity to raise their queries and receive an update on the charity’s work moving forward.
