The government recognises that there is no place for homophobia or any other kind of discrimination in sport. The government\u2019s sport strategy \u2018Sporting Future\u2019 set out our intention to encourage as many people and groups to enjoy sport as participants, spectators and in the workforce, including the LGBT community.<\/p>
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport supports the work of Sport England (our national sport council) with the national governing bodies of individual sports and LGBT-focused sport organisations on anti-homophobia initiatives aimed at encouraging inclusion, for example Stonewall's Rainbow Laces Campaign.<\/p>
Sport England have also commissioned Pride Sports to produce an in-depth report looking at barriers to LGBT participation including volunteering, provision, and attitudes and behaviours. This will also include a comprehensive look at LGBT participation, and a report on LGBT sport infrastructure across the country. Following this Sport England will consider what further steps could be taken to support LGBT participation.<\/p>

The government is clear that racism has no place in sport or society at large. The sport and physical activity strategy \u2018Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation\u2019 has diversity and inclusion at its heart. Government remains supportive of a number of anti-racism initiatives that work with sports bodies from grassroots to the elite, including Show Racism the Red Card and Kick it Out.<\/p>
Over the past year the government has led debates in the House of Commons on tackling racism in sport (on 22nd May 2019 and 12th July 2019), and hosted an Anti-Racism Summit in February 2019. This led to the three main English football organisations making clear commitments to tackle racism in football stadia from July 2019. The Sports Minister met with the FA last week and discussed their progress in delivering against these commitments, and will be calling in all the footballing authorities for a further update about their work on this important issue. Further to these commitments, ministers and officials continue to speak to the FA and relevant football bodies to explore what more can be done.<\/p>
Grassroots sport clubs receive support in tackling racism from our national sport council, Sport England, who provide free support and learning in running a club through its "Club Matters" programme.<\/p>

Government is committed to ensuring the responsible deployment of digital technologies, including facial recognition. The use of facial recognition has increased with advancements in technology and has implications for privacy. Facial recognition technology relies on the processing of facial imagery which is defined as personal data under the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Its use is regulated by these laws.<\/p>
<\/p>
This legislation imposes strict obligations on both individuals and organisations to process people\u2019s data fairly and lawfully and to ensure that any data collected is held securely. There must also be a legal basis for processing data. The way in which personal data is collected and handled must be fair and transparent, and the data should be processed in a way which individuals would expect.<\/p>
<\/p>
The DPA and GDPR are enforced independently of Government by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Organisations that fail to comply may be subject to enforcement action by the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office. The ICO is currently investigating facial recognition and its implications for privacy. The Commissioner recently published a blog on \u2018Live facial recognition technology - data protection law applies\u2019 which is available on the ICO website.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also recently established the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation to provide independent and expert advice on the governance of data-driven technologies. The Centre will identify the measures needed to strengthen and improve the way data-driven technologies and AI are used. This will include promoting best practice and advising on how government can address potential gaps in our regulatory landscape. The Centre is currently looking at the use of facial recognition technology.<\/p>
