Prestige Network, a leading provider of language services, proudly announces its groundbreaking partnership with The Football Association (FA) to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all individuals involved in football. Through this collaboration, Prestige Network will supply British Sign Language Interpreters and notetakers to FA courses, facilitating seamless communication for deaf and hard of hearing participants.

Diversity and inclusivity are paramount, it is crucial for organisations to take proactive steps to accommodate individuals with different needs. The FA recognises this imperative and has chosen to lead by example by partnering with Prestige Network to meet their Reasonable Adjustments requirements.

This initiative marks a significant milestone in the journey towards inclusivity within the football community. By providing British Sign Language Interpreters and notetakers, the FA ensures that deaf and hard of hearing individuals have equal access to educational opportunities and resources offered by the organisation. Whether it’s coaching courses, referee training, or administrative workshops, every participant will now have the support they need to excel in their respective roles.

The FA’s dedication to fostering an inclusive environment aligns perfectly with Prestige Network’s core values. Together, they are setting a precedent for other organisations within the sports industry to follow suit and prioritise accessibility for all.

This partnership not only demonstrates the FA’s commitment to diversity but also underscores the importance of collaboration between public and private sectors in creating positive social change. By working together, Prestige Network and the FA are paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future for all football enthusiasts.
