Codes of Conduct, Licence T+Cs and Disciplinary Procedures

All Officials are asked at the point of training or as they progress through their officiating journey to sign and adopt the Officials’ Code of Conduct. The code is designed to provide a safe welcoming environment for everyone in the sport and reflects the required standards of personal and professional conduct in that role.
