What do we mean by Respect?
• Respect is the
collective responsibility
of everyone involved in
football to create a fair,
safe and enjoyable
environment in which
the game can take
place.
What do we want to achieve with Respect ?
• A base number of registered Referees sufficient for the demands of
the game at every level.
• Zero tolerance for assaults on Referees
• An improvement in on- field player discipline particularly in the area
of dissent to Referees
• A step change in all football as to what is acceptable and
unacceptable behaviour from parents and spectators
• Work with coaches to create an enjoyable learning environment in
children’s football

Guide to Dealing with Poor Practice Concerns
•
•
•
•
•
Who, What, When, Where and Why?
You need to establish facts!!
Who is involved? - Who is the alleged to be exhibiting a poor practice? – Who
has experienced the alleged poor practice? - Who witnessed the
incident/expressed concern? – Who reported the incident/concern? – Who else
was involved or was present?
What happened? – What are the details of the incident/concern? - Ensure you
distinguish between fact and opinion! – What was witnessed or observed? What information is second or third hand or is believed, rather than known to
have happened?
When did the incident occur? – When did the concern begin/for how long?
Record of time and dates
Where did the incident happen? - Why did the incident occur? Any background
knowledge? Ensure you distinguish between fact and opinion!!
