Nil by Mouth's Charter for Change spells out our campaign's vision for Scotland
Sectarianism, racism and bigotry have no place in a modern Scotland.
Everyone's religious beliefs should be respected and cultural diversity should be celebrated.
Everyone should be encouraged to remember this and to take responsibility for the language they use and the way they behave. In this way we can all help to change our society for the better.
In addition we call on:
- The Scottish Executive and local authorities to promote anti-sectarianism throughout the education system
- Rangers and Celtic Football Clubs to agree and announce measurable targets to reduce sectarian behaviour amongst their supporters
- Employers to make clear in their recruitment and employment processes that they do not tolerate any form of sectarianism or bigotry
- Voluntary organisations, sports clubs, public bodies and businesses to include a commitment to non-sectarianism in their constitutions, mission statements and application forms
- The Scottish Parliament to monitor how the police, the Crown Office and the Courts apply Section 74 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003, which gives courts the power to impose stiffer sentences where a crime is motivated by religious prejudice.
- The Churches to preach a strong anti-sectarian message and to work together in partnership across the diversity of faiths followed in Scotland.
Nil by Mouth is a Charitable Trust registered in Scotland no SCO 30375
