58 59 60 61 62 The Australian sporting sector currently lacks a comprehensive framework for dealing with spectator racism. Recognising the need for action in this area, in April 2021, the AHRC brought together representatives from the Australian sporting codes, anti-racism experts and other relevant partners to develop a set of guidelines for addressing spectator racism in sports. These guidelines are intended to provide a practical guide for sporting codes, as well as stadiums, sporting fields and grounds, staff, volunteers, and other spectators to respond to incidents of racism at Australian sporting matches. The guidelines provide an overview of steps that sporting codes, clubs and venues can follow in order to prepare for and respond to incidents of spectator racism, and how to support targets of spectator racism when these incidents occur. In addition to the guidelines, the Commission has produced a set of resources designed to support their implementation. These resources will be available via the Commission website at: https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/race-discrimination/ publications/guide-addressing-spectator-racismsports-2021. The resources will include: – Policy templates for racial discrimination and other important policies – Guidelines for effective complaints handling – Content for insertion into Member Protection Policies – Guidelines for creating communications content to promote the tool – Guidelines for engaging in bystander intervention – Checklists for creating anti-social behaviour reporting mechanisms – Support services available for targets of racism – Guidelines for working with a trauma-informed approach The guidelines and accompanying resources will be released in November 2021. To date, a number of national sporting codes and venues have agreed to formally endorse the guidelines, the first step in an ongoing partnership with the Commission to address this pressing issue.
