They mention regular hygiene breaks - what would you guys advise for this regular as in half time or about every 10-15 minutes?

Perfect cheers @Justylove 👍

Not to argue with you I believe they should, but lots of new refs won’t and use what they’re taught on the course - we were never told to read it even advised to, I chose to do so to improve myself and my knowledge and some refs don’t do this as seriously as some may and I just feel it could’ve...

What you’re saying is right but my point was some referees are less likely to have read up as much as some of us have and that we/they shouldn’t have to interpret this ourselves. Some referees will not read 5 pages of guidelines which means there will be inconsistencies, like you said we are not...

That was the problem that I had with it is it’s not aimed at grassroots football I have no ARs as you said we don’t have a MOAS system so I wonder if there will be 2 different sets of advice, one for NLS and one for grassroots - according to that advice am I as a 15 year old meant to ask the...

Fair enough mate that’s what they made it out as

Hi everyone the guidance has been given early to this page the guidance seems aimed more at non league does anyone know if they’re going to release a grassroots/ youth orientated document. This document has 5 pages so make sure to read all as it’s hard to see there’s 5 pages...

He also said to me that guidance from my county (Birmingham) will come direct from the FA so they have different ways of implementing it

I was told by someone the RDOs had a meeting on Monday about it so I’m assuming they did and are finalising it which is what that statement make it out like their doing - it’d be great if all counties do but I doubt it as I have seen certain counties advertise it on twitter to email the RDO with...

And I just had an email from my RDO saying it will definitely come before the 1st August

Yes no one knows at the moment when any courses will be back I have a few mates that have seen me reffing and want to give it a go aswell and I got them to email my CFA who said they have no information at the moment when new courses will be available and one that was meant to have his in April...

Yes you definitely need a DBS it usually takes 7-10 days no real way to make it faster but you must be in the UK to do it - you cannot referee a game in youth or OA football without a DBS check - you will also need to attend a 3 hour safeguarding course on top of this at a fee of £30

Hi all, I have attached a photo showing the statement given to refsupport off twitter which states that al registered referees will get specific guidance within the next 48 hours

Thanks - I’m all registered with the £20 fee👍

Cheers mate, I’m not old enough yet to go for promotion yet👍

Ok cheers

Hi all, sorry as I’m still quite new I’ve never reffed any friendlies before - do I have to log these ok the WGS or not - all teams are affiliated I checked with them as I have already got offered 7 and need to know before I start next week Thanks 👍

Is this a DBS check because some of these are being done on a booked basis with the CFA

Can see it being a later announcement with lots of planning being done by the FA with similar, slightly later timeframe. Either way a lot better than when we were originally told January at the start for any football

With NI and Scotland back to contact friendlies this month I would hope for it to be earlier in England
