REFEREES and RESPECT

 

Referees have a major role to play in Respect. Here’s how match officials can help to incorporate Respect into their games.

 

1. You will have been, or will be, invited to a Respect information session or workshop, hosted by your County FA. It is vital you attend, as it will explain what you need to do to be part of the programme – and answer any questions you may have. We need you to be absolutely clear about what your Respect role entails.  

 

2. All referees need to sign the Match Officials’ Code of Conduct.

 

3. We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. The behaviour of the match officials has an impact, directly and indirectly, on the conduct of everyone involved in the game – both on the pitch and on the sidelines. Play your part and observe the FA’s Respect Code of Conduct of match officials at all time.

 

4. Ensure you understand others’ Codes of Conduct covering various football participants:

* Club Officials, Coaches and Team Managers (Published on FA Info)

* Adult players (Published on FA Info)

 

Respect Code of Conduct: Match Officials

 

Play your part and observe The FA’s Respect Code of Conduct for match officials at all time.

 

* Be honest and completely impartial at all times

 

* Apply the Laws of the Game and Competition Rules fairly and consistently

 

* Manage the game in a positive, calm and confident manner

 

* Deal with all instances of violence, aggression, unsporting behaviour, foul play and other misconduct

 

* Never tolerate offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour from players and officials

 

* Support my match official colleagues at all times

 

* Set a positive personal example by promoting good behaviour and showing respect to everyone involved in the game

 

* Communicate with the players and encourage fair play

 

* Respond in a clear, calm and confident manner to any appropriate request for clarification by the team captains

 

* Prepare physically and mentally for every match

 

* Complete and submit accurate and concise reports within the time limit required for games in which I officiate.  

 

Failure to follow the above Code may result in action being taken by The FA / County FA Refereeing Official or, be

required to meet with The FA / County FA Refereeing Committee.
