INTRODUCTION
Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) is the UKs anti-racism educational charity and
was established in January 1996. The organisation utilises the high-profile status of
football and football players to help tackle racism in society. The majority of the
campaigns output is the delivery of education to young people and adults in their
schools, their workplaces and at events held in football stadiums. Across Britain,
SRtRC delivers training to more than 50,000 individuals per year.
Show Racism the Red Card Workshops are fully participatory and contain a range of
auditory, visual and kinaesthetic activities to engage all learners. Workshops are
tailored to meet the needs of the learners and consideration is given to; time
available, their age, ability, previous knowledge and whether it is an introductory or
follow up visit from SRtRC.
In April 2012, SRtRC secured funding from the Department for Communities and
Local Government (DCLG) to deliver a two year programme of work designed to
combat the influence of far right street movements on young peoples attitudes and
behaviours.
The project represents a national initiative to challenge contemporary racism and
educate about the dangers of far right groups. The project focused on the delivery of
four distinct but inter-dependant strands designed to develop a comprehensive
approach to identifying and challenging the influence of far right groups on the
development of attitudes among young people.
The four strands of the programme are:
Full day adult and teacher training events tailored towards tackling anti
Muslim hatred and the influence of the far right.
Targeted programmes of school based education with young people
addressing the underlying causes of involvement with far right activity.
Research into the impact that the activities of the English Defence League
and other far right groups are having on young peoples attitudes and
wellbeing.
The development of a brand new educational resource No Place for Hate
Through the delivery of the four distinct strands of this targeted programme of work,
Show Racism the Red Card, the Department for Communities and Local Government
and the National Union of Teachers aim to:
Raise awareness among young people of the dangers of associating with far
right organisations such as the EDL
Help young people to think critically about the information they receive and
understand the harm that is caused by division and hatred
Empower young people with knowledge and understanding to challenge and
refute racist and Islamophobic ideals

This report presents the results of the two year research activity carried out in
conjunction with targeted programmes of school based education which sought to
answer the question To what extent do young people share potentially damaging
attitudes with far right groups and where do these ideas come from? What are the
opportunities and risks that this presents?
The far right and the English Defence League
The Collins English Dictionary defines the term far right as the more extreme
supporters or advocates of social, political, or economic conservatism or reaction,
based generally on a belief that things are better left unchanged.
Show Racism the Red Card accepts that the popularity of groups like the EDL may
wane, and in anticipation of this, educational activities and resources associated with
this project have been designed to challenge the ideas commonly associated with
the far right more widely and to assist both teachers and young people in the
development of a critical capacity required to make informed decisions about
organisations such as the EDL and about some of the key aspects of far right politics.
METHODOLOGY
Show Racism the Red Card has conducted research into the attitudes of young
people and the extent to which these attitudes are shared with far right groups
including the English Defence League.
It is the intention of this report to present the key findings from this two year
research activity; however the purpose of this study is not to paint a complete
picture of the situation across the country but to highlight some of the issues which
exist for some young people in some educational institutions and communities.
The intended outcomes of this research are:
In order to add validity to the work and to reinforce findings, SRtRC employed a
mixed-method approach, including questionnaires, focus groups with young people
and staff journals. Multiple methods can add validity to the work and reinforce
findings (Denscombe, 1998:23)
Questionnaires
Between April 2012 and April 2014 Show Racism the Red Card attempted to survey
the opinions of all of the young people who took part in anti-racism education
workshops focused on addressing the underlying causes of involvement with far
right activity.
By the end of the project we worked with 8,793 young people from a variety of
educational institutions throughout nine distinct regions within England. We
developed a pre-intervention, self-completion questionnaire, in order to collect
quantitative data from young people, aged between 11 and 14. The young people
were from schools where teachers have expressed an interest in undertaking further
work on this issue with their young people, and in the majority of cases Show Racism
the Red Card went on to work with these young people in a classroom environment.
The survey results were used not only to contribute towards this wider research
project and report, but to provide insight into specific attiudes and issues present
amoung the young people we would be working with in preperation of our
educational interventions.

by young people during the intervention. Each core workshop was reflected upon
alongside additional elements of interventions including opening and closing
assemblies and free-time observations to create a picture of each school visit.
Challenges and opportunities were recorded to support continuous assessment and
future delivery.
The journals have proved to be a valuable source of rich information, which can not
necessarily be gathered through other methods, where worries about how they
would be perceived may create a contradiction between real attitudes and a desire
to create a particular impression.
Show Racism the Red Card employs four full-time Education Workers who deliver
anti-racism workshops to young people throughout the country. These Education
Workers are supported by a team of ex professional footballers and education
specialists, and staff journals were a great way of capturing the perspectives of a
diverse team, perspectives which are used in this report to illustrate a number of the
key themes that are supported by the results of this research activity.
RESULTS
This section will present the results of the activity to capture the opinions of young
people via the surveys described in the previous methodology section.
The results from surveys completed between April 2012 and November 2012 will be
clearly marked as Survey 1, whilst those completed between November 2012 and
March 2014 will be presented under the heading Survey 2. As described in the
Methodology section of this report, survey questions were amended in November
2012 to reduce the burden of completion for participants and to better reflect some
of the key issues raised during the first six months of classroom interventions
including what Education Workers perceived to be a lack of understanding about the
religion of Islam.
Survey 1 results (April 2012 November 2012)
During this period, the survey was completed by 3362 young people in preparation
for their participation in tailored anti-racism workshops delivered by Show Racism
the Red Card. The results from each question, together with the response rate is

Questions two and three (What is the name of your school? and Do you have any
pets?) were used as markers or identifiers to enable deeper analysis of responses
whilst maintaining the anonymity of respondents. The presence of such questions
could enable investigation into trends at a regional or individual school level and an
isolated analysis of an individuals response to the full survey. Whilst Show Racism
the Red Card recognise that there may be further, very valuable data which could be
drawn from such analysis, this was not part of the original research brief and is
therefore not included within this report.
