Dear colleagues,

The publication of The FA National Referee Strategy (NRS) provides an important moment in English refereeing, as it sets out the organisational blueprint of the key principles, frameworks and structures for referee recruitment, retention and development. The NRS demonstrates The FA’s commitment to maximising the opportunities for inclusion, participation and development at all levels of the refereeing pyramid across the range of roles in refereeing.

Please find attached two key documents listed below and a link to the digital version of the NRS which can be found by clicking here:

1. The FA National Referee Strategy

This document sets out the principles, frameworks and structures for the recruitment, retention and development of referees in eight key strands:

· The DNA of English refereeing
· The Structure of English refereeing
· National Referee Curriculum (NRC)
· Recruitment and Retention
· Participation and Coverage
· Development Pathways and
· Opportunities
· Governance and Administration
· Raising the profile of English refereeing

2. The DNA of English Refereeing

This is one of the eight strands of The NRS. It is important that at all levels of English refereeing, all those involved as match officials, coaches, observers, tutors and mentors are united by a set of core values:

· Respect
· Empathy
· Fitness
· Evaluation
· Reliability
· Education
· Excellence

These seven values are integral to the work and attitudes of all, and provide the DNA of English refereeing.

We would appreciate you disseminating this important information to all of those participants involved in refereeing and referee development.

Please note that the proposed re-organisation of the referee levels will be the subject of consultation and discussion in the early part of Season 2016/17.

Further details in relation to each of the strands will be provided in due course.
