REPORT OF CROSS-PARTY WORKING GROUP ON RELIGIOUS HATRED
Annex D Nil by Mouth Charter for Change
Sectarianism, racism, and bigotry have no place in modern Scotland.
Everyone's religious beliefs should be respected and cultural diversity should be celebrated.
Everyone should take responsibility for the language they use and the way they behave.
In addition, we want:
- 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 for reducing sectarian behaviour amongst their supporters
- Employers to make clear in their recruitment, employment processes 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/registration forms
- The Scottish Parliament to change the law so that sentences can be increased for anyone committed of an offence aggravated by sectarian behaviour
- Churches to preach a strong anti sectarian message and work together in partnership across the diversity of faiths followed in Scotland.
