Equality Framework
The Scottish FA is fully committed to promoting equal opportunities for all. This belief is carried out through the principles of equality that the Scottish FA embraces; fairness, justice, respect, inclusion and the removal of barriers. These principles feed into everything we do, including the Scottish FA’s operational and strategic development, delivery and decision making.

Equality Calendar
The calendar is an important resource for the Scottish FA and its wider membership, particularly in terms of planning around religious festivals and holidays. It will also help raise awareness of equality and diversity and more generally well-being issues. Please note some of the dates for events/religious days may be subject to change or regional and local variations.
