37 Travel & Administration Expenses
Members are reminded that a flat rate of up to 40 pence per mile, or actual out of pocket expenses may be claimed.
1. Expenses – Scope.
1.1. All members may claim expenses for direct travel to and from matches in Yorkshire to which they have been appointed by the Federation or one of the Member Societies (MS). Those members appointed by the East Riding, North Yorkshire & Cleveland and South Yorkshire Societies to officiate clubs’ U19s matches (normally Sunday am) should claim expenses from the appropriate MS Treasurer.
1.2 Members may claim expenses for direct travel to and from exchange matches in other counties to which they have been appointed by the Federation.
1.3 The Federation encourages members to use rail travel whenever appropriate and practical. The best value Standard Class return ticket must be purchased. A copy or receipt should be included with the travel claim. The receipt may be scanned and transmitted with the claim by email otherwise surface mail will apply.
1.4 When a party of members is appointed to officiate on exchange to another county the senior referee will liaise with the Federation Exchange Appointments Officer and the other members appointed to reduce car usage – at least two members should travel together. Unless there are special circumstances and these have been agreed beforehand with the Federation treasurer any member choosing to travel alone will do so at his or her own expense.
1.5 Members may claim one night’s overnight accommodation and meals when appointed to exchange matches which involve a return journey greater than 300 miles. Members must supply receipts for accommodation, meals and public transport. The receipts may be scanned and transmitted with the claim by email otherwise surface mail will apply. Members are expected to use one of the many budget hotel/motel chains now available. In case of difficulty members are required to contact the Federation treasurer beforehand.
1.6 Members elected or appointed to Federation Committees may claim expenses for direct travel to and from Federation Committee meetings and the AGM.
1.7 Members attending Federation development squad meetings may claim expenses for direct travel to and from the venue.
1.8 In the event of Federation special training courses, those attending will be advised whether claims may be made.
1.9 Federation and Member Society Officers may make claims for reimbursement of costs incurred in their duties. These include for example telephone charges, printer ink, postage and stationery. Receipts must support the claims. For telephone claims the receipt is a copy of the summary sheet of the quarterly bill. Those claims which relate specifically to MS duties should be sent to the relevant MS Treasurer.
38 1.10 Claims should be made on the YFRS travel expense claim form. They should be made no later than the end of the month in which the expense occurs. Use of email is encouraged. Please note that the YFRS AGM takes place early in June annually so final claims should be made by mid-May.
Note that direct travel does not include stops, diversions or visits en-route which are not considered to be necessary to the usual journey. This is a requirement of the insurance cover provided by RFU/Marsh Insurance.

NOTES OF ADVICE TO NEW REFEREES
You will be provided with a mentor who will be someone you can discuss problems with in confidence. Remember – There are rarely new problems, just new referees!
The following notes are intended to provide further guidance:-
1 The referee is a part of the game – not apart from it. 2 Be fair, firm and friendly, make the players your allies, particularly the captains. 3 Take control right from the start and keep it. 4 Make your decisions clear, so that the players know exactly why you have blown your whistle. 5 Make your requirements known to the players early in the game and apply them consistently. 6 Be physically fit and mentally alert.
MEDICAL
Before the game: Check the medical facilities and ascertain who will deal with the medical situation in the case of injury. If no person is available the referee should leave the issue to the captain of the relevant side. During the game: Make sure that any injured player receives attention. Unless you are medically trained, or are a registered first aider, do not get involved with injuries. Make brief notes, including times, of serious injuries particularly with regard to foul play. After the game: If a serious injury has occurred, you should notify your Member Society Secretary as soon as possible. Make a contemporaneous record immediately after the game. Be concise, precise and factual. This record of events could be particularly important if the player tries to seek compensation from the referee at a later stage.
REPORTED PLAYERS
For players taking part in matches within Yorkshire, referees MUST report the sending off of a player as follows:
All reports should be submitted to the referee’s Member Society Secretary and copied to the Yorkshire Disciplinary Secretary, Steve Watson (details under useful contacts). They should be submitted as soon as practicable and should be as detailed as possible. Remember from season 2013/14 all players are automatically banned until they appear before a disciplinary panel.
If a player is sent off in a game involving National League Clubs, then the referee needs to establish if the player is contracted to the club. If so, then the report needs to be sent to the RFU Disciplinary Officer, along with a copy to the referee’s Member Society Secretary. If the player is not contracted then the report needs to be sent to the Yorkshire Disciplinary Secretary.
For any player sent off, but belonging to a club outside Yorkshire, the referee should send his report to his/hers relevant Society Secretary and also to the Federation Secretary who will ensure that it is forwarded to the correct discipline secretary of the relevant county.
Addresses and further advice about the completion of reports is always available from your Member Society Secretary or Federation Secretary.
40
Discipline
All referees are advised to follow a set procedure when issuing a caution to players, or when sending a player from the field of play.
Caution: In the presence of the player’s captain, take the player’s name and number, record the time and make it clear to the player why he/she is being cautioned. Players should be made aware that any repeat of a similar offence may result in the player being sent off. Confirm that both the player and captain understand the caution, then show the yellow card to the player, so that all present are aware that a caution has been issued. Restart the game by blowing the whistle and awarding a penalty to the non offending team.
Sending Off: In the presence of the player’s captain, take the player’s name and number. Record the time and make it clear to the player why he/she is being sent off. Confirm that both the player and captain understand the sending off, then show the red card to the player, so that all present understand that the player has been sent off.
After the game, it is unwise to discuss a caution or sending off with anyone present in the clubhouse, except for a referee adviser/assessor or referee coach.
When you arrive home, it is a good idea to discuss a sending off with your Member Society Secretary, before you write your report.
Sending off reports MUST be factually correct and provide enough detail before submission to the disciplinary secretary and submitted as soon as is reasonably practicable.
If you send somebody from the field of play you MUST submit a report. You cannot tell a player or his club that the sending off is sufficient. That is for the County Disciplinary Panel to decide upon.
Referee Abuse
You have the right to expect your authority as a referee to be upheld throughout your visit to any club at which you are officiating. Everyone should expect disagreement (especially from spectators) about decisions you make – this has always been part of the game! However, there is no excuse for any instances of personal abuse from players, officials, club members or spectators, before, during or after the game – including in the clubhouse. Any occurrence of abuse should be immediately reported to your Member Society Secretary. You may be asked to complete the official report form. Your Federation will always provide the strongest support to a referee in the case of referee abuse.
INSURANCE
Society Members, as long as they are properly appointed to matches by the Federation, Member Society or a club – are covered by the RFU Compulsory Club Playing Insurance Scheme. Details may be obtained from the Federation Treasurer.
Referees over the age of 50 are advised to have an annual medical via their GP to establish their physical fitness to referee.
41 PUBLIC LIABILITY
If referees carry out their duties in a normal manner and to the best of their ability, no problems should arise. In the event of litigation members are covered for negligence cases. Public Liability Insurance does not cover games played using rules no longer approved. Committee Members and Officers of Referees Societies receive both Public Liability Insurance and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.
Referees must apply the particular rules of play appropriate to each section of the game.
• The Continuum • Youth Rugby • Colts Schools Referees should only accept authorised appointments.
REGALIA
New members approved to referee are entitled to wear the society shirt badge, incorporated as part of the kit issued when they have successfully completed ELRA part 3.
The Federation awards a blazer badge to those members who have completed five years service.
All enquiries regarding Federation merchandise should be directed through Member Society Secretaries or the Merchandise Co-ordinator. An order form is available on the Federation web site.
FEDERATION MERCHANDISE
All kit/merchandise will be available to purchase through the website – Yorkshirereferees.org.
All members are reminded to wear YRS logo’d kit as much as possible, particularly in Cup and League fixtures.
INTERNATIONAL TICKETS
Information:- As a fully paid up member of the Federation, you may apply for tickets for games involving the England National side.
There is no need to enclose payment, however some Member Societies may request payment with application. If not, you will be invoiced on allocation of tickets (approximately three weeks prior to the match).
All applications should be submitted through your Member Society Secretary and have a stamped addressed envelope attached. Tickets are issued three weeks before the game. Tickets are for your own use and not for resale. Your Society may only receive a fraction of the tickets applied for.
42 REFEREE PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT
MOPG Committee Referee Grading and Appointments Policy (inc. Fitness)
MOPG Key Responsibilities
The MOPG Committee must ensure that every Referee officiating a fixture is capable of performing at the Level of Rugby that he/she is appointed to.
The MOPG Committee is responsible to ensure that all Clubs are allocated suitable referees for each fixture at all levels in Yorkshire through working closely with Member Societies and Federation to ensure a consistency of standards and policy implementation.
The MOPG Committee will grade referees so as to ensure the highest quality of Match Official is appointed appropriately.
MOPG Delivery of Key Objectives
1) Grading & Development
a) The Committee will meet monthly throughout the season to review appointments and grading. Their role is to review the performance of every referee at level 8 and above and those proposed for promotion at Level 9. The committee will evaluate evidence from the preceding period, and decide on whether the referee’s performances allow them to be graded appropriately.
b) The Member Society Training Officer will be required, in liaison with the Member Society’s Grading Officer, to prepare a short report for each meeting one week in advance identifying any positives, recommendations or developmental work required by individual referees within their Member Society at Level 9 and above. This report is to include: a summary of the referees reports to date (within past 12 months), fitness test level, their meeting attendance and current card scores to enable a balanced opinion to be formed.
c) Individual development requirements should be identified by the Member Society Training Officers utilising the tools provided including (but not exclusively); review cards (completed by clubs) and written reports. Coaches/mentors, where available, will be appointed to referees who it is thought will benefit from coaching
d) Grading at L9 and above will be determined by the MOPG Committee using the information provided by Match Observers on the RFU Referee Report Form currently in use.
e) An assessment MUST be made by the MOPG Committee at level 8 and above before any decision is made to re-grade an individual.
f) Proven referees joining from another Member Society or a qualified Yorkshire referee returning to active refereeing will be graded at a level consummate with their experience and length of time since refereeing at their previous level. If the introductory grading level is below their attained refereeing level, due consideration will be given to the experience and the number of assessments required achieving the original grading level prior to joining/re-joining the Member Society. Referees transferring into Yorkshire should provide copies of their last 3 reports together with letters confirming their appointment to their grade. g) Member Societies will be encouraged to implement mentor groups. Referees will be allocated a mentor group, in line with experience to aid development. It is the referee’s responsibility to liaise with the mentor group leader to try and assist in achieving his/her aspirations.
43 h) The Policy and Procedures for the Welfare of Young People in Rugby Union (supported by NSPCC and RFU/RFUW) states in 9.3.4 “All relevant members who have regular supervisory contact with children or a management responsibility for those working with young people will undertake a Criminal Records Bureau disclosure”. Yorkshire Federation of Referees Members’ will be required to comply with this and will be the responsibility of the Member Society to ensure members which maybe appointed to such games are covered suitably.
2) Reports
In order to assist in gaining information on referees on a broader scale, a club reporting card will be implemented and, initially co-ordinated at Member Society level, with the reports being forwarded to the MOPG committee in advance of a meeting. Referees will be encouraged to ask BOTH sides to complete the cards where feasible. A greater emphasis on club involvement will be undertaken before the 2012-13 season and an online card provided for collation.
Referees will be coached/advised/assessed utilising the appropriate form for their respective level.
3) Promotion
All referees wishing to proceed to the next level of refereeing MUST pass the relevant fitness standard for that level.
1) Member Society Referees who wish to progress to Level 8 and above should have successfully completed the CRDA Assistant Referee Module.
2) Referees wishing to progress to Level 7 and beyond should take part in the Referee Coaching course now available and agree to mentor referees during each season.
4) General Guidelines for Progression a. Advancement to a grade does not guarantee that the referee will receive only games at his grade. Appointments will be made with a spread of games at different levels. b. In the table below, ‘current report’ means a report in the 4 competitive rugby months immediately prior to the grading committee meeting. c. Min required number of reports is no guarantee of automatic re-grading d. Fitness levels are to be achieved as prescribed below. e. Once a referee has received the minimum number of reports – they may then be awarded two games at the next level over the next two months where they may be assessed. The committee will then make a final decision based on these reports as to whether the re-grading is formalised. This will ensure that those making the step are suitable. f. Each referee should be observed by a Match Observer a minimum of twice per season. Ideally: once Sept – Dec and once Jan – Apr. Referees showing consistent high performance or positive comments on report cards may be observed more frequently. g. Referees will NOT be watched on games below their current levels in order to ensure a fair distribution of resources. h. Where suitable evidence is available, referees may be able to fast track with the agreement of the MOPG Committee and the Member Society Training Officer. i. Member Societies are able to award an initial grading of Level 12 when first observing referees – subject to evidence and agreement of their Member Society grading committee. Subsequently the minimum requirements become applicable save for point h.
44
To achieve Minimum Requirements level 12 ELRA – Stage 3 signed off. 5 self assessment match reports and one from Member Society. 11 2 Match Observer reports showing capable at the next Level or average 3 on review cards over last eight matches. 10 Fitness Levels Applied (where standard met – may be taken into account at society appointments) 2 Match Observer reports at minimum Level 11 showing capable at the next Level or average 3 or above on review cards over the last eight matches 9 Fitness Levels Applied (where standard met – will be taken into account at society appointments) 3 Match Observer reports at Level 10 with a recommendation for advancement.
8 Fitness Levels Applicable 8+ 3 Match Observer at Level 9 with a recommendation for advancement.
7 3 Match Observer at minimum Level 8 with a recommendation for advancement. Completed the CRDA Assistant Referee Module.
6 3 Match Observer reports at minimum Level 7 within previous 12 months of the committee meeting, all with a recommendation for advancement. Completed the RFU Coaching Course. 5 Criteria to be advised by those that manage the Level 5 games.
4) Guidance for Downward Grading a) Referees who receive adverse comments on Match Observer Reports will be observed within 28 days of the adverse report. If additional adverse comments are noted on the second Match Observer Report, the individual will potentially be re-graded at the next MOPG Committee Meeting. b) Referees who fail to meet the current fitness level for his/her Refereeing Level will be given 28 days to pass the current fitness. If he/she fails a second time, then the individual will be re-graded at the next MOPG Committee Meeting. c) Club cards received which indicate a referee may have a reoccurring issue will be used to identify potential Match Observer Allocation.
5) Fitness Testing
Fitness testing at levels 9 and above is MANDATORY. The tests will be carried out by member societies between the 1st July & 26th August. The criteria below has changed in terms of tests which can be taken and standards
If a referee does not take the test by the above dates, then appointments will not be made at a Federation Level until undertaken. (Please note Federation appointments made in advance of the competitive season CAN BE withdrawn in this instance).
At Level 10 and below, fitness testing will be aspirational but Member Societies are to take into account those that have passed the tests when making appointments to level 10 and
45 below matches. Referees who have achieved the minimum standards should take precedence wherever feasible.
Referees will be notified of the requirements in advance of the test and each Member Society will have an appointed testing officer (likely to be STO’s unless otherwise advised to MOPG) in charge. The STO will forward the ‘results’ to MOPG.
Referees need to pass one of the two tests below. Member societies may determine which options are available to their members.
If the MOPG committee deem necessary for specified members due to feedback/reports then further individuals may be requested to re-test in mid January.
In order to qualify for the referee bandings, the relevant fitness test is detailed below but only forms one part of the banding process.
TEST L6 L7 L8 L9 L10
JAM (mins) 13m 30s 12m 30s 11m30s 10m30s 9m30s
Yo-Yo 15 14.4 14.2 13.4 13
Suggested Implementation Methods
Jam … can be set up either on grass or tarmac by appointed Member Society representative. All times to be recorded and e-mailed to Federation Training Officer and MOPG Grading Chairman.
Yo–Yo – Variation on the Bleep test .
6) Appointment Procedures
a) Failure to referee any games for 6 active months could result in demotion to the Level below or a Level as determined by the MOPG Committee.
b) Anyone unable to attend a Member Society Training Meeting for whatever reason should notify a member of their Member Society Committee in advance.
c) Referees may be appointed at up to 2 levels above their current status only with the approval of two members of the MOPG committee, one of which, where possible, should be either the Chairman or the Federation Appointments Officer.
d) Where possible, a referee who has passed the Fitness test for the appropriate level should be appointed, however where this is NOT possible, a decision maybe used to appoint a suitably graded referee in place.
e) The Committee have the right to refuse to consider a referee for grading who does not consistently attend Member Society Training Meetings. All referees, wishing to seek promotion, are expected to attend at least 50% of Member Society Training Meetings (either in Yorkshire or elsewhere if away working) in addition to Federation Training Events.
Level 8 and above should attend 75% of Open Meetings & Training Sessions in order to keep up with all current initiatives and directives. Member Society secretaries are to forward Meeting Attendance Lists to the MOPG Committee Chairman for collation in time for the meeting.
Work commitments can cause difficulties for attendance and these should be noted separately but member societies informed in advance of meeting.

Yorkshire Review Cards
Objective of Report Card - The overall objective is to help in the development of Yorkshire Federation referees. This can only happen with the support of the clubs who are requested to complete the Report Card objectively (and not just from their side) for each Yorkshire Federation referee who referees at their club.
What happens to the data?
The ‘score’ given against each key element of the game will be logged by the Member Society Training Officer on a database and an average score in each area will be produced. Using the average score over a period of time will enable societies to spot trends in strengths/weaknesses of individual referees and the membership as a whole.
In the event any re-occurring weaknesses are identified, the referee will receive support and coaching from societies on how to improve this element/s of their game.
The data will also act as an additional information source for the grading committee who will use the data to identify referees who need to be observed in the near future.
ADVISERS, COACHES & ASSESSING
Advising – Coaching – Assessing How it works – Which is right for you? Life after refereeing!!
The advising, coaching and assessment of referees has developed into three quite distinct functions, different in their approach but each more “professional” in their processes of developing those referees with ability and ambition to operate at their highest level or to increase the competence and enjoyment of referees at the lower levels.
At the higher levels, assessment is a data rich and evidence based performance appraisal that makes judgement about ability to progress. Coaching is a longitudinal process where qualified coaches continuously work with and develop one or two referees over a season on and off the pitch. The processes are complimentary but the intensity of these two approaches means that they are relevant only to a limited number of our referees. These are the identified members of the Federation Development Squad, normally graded between levels 8 and 6. Assessing exchange referees from other Counties would also be the remit of our assessors who are Federation based and appointed, and who have the support of the Federation Assessor Development Officer (FADO). Assessing and Coaching require very different skill sets and suit different personalities. Those involved are carefully selected.
The great majority of referees require much less attention to their development. They will be capable of making grade progress, and of being advised how to better enjoy what they do. Their Society also has a duty of care to ensure that their competence to referee matches at their level is confirmed and updated for the record. They will benefit from a less formal advising process on an occasional basis with a simple form on which to report for the record.
Assessors are selected by the FADO who is responsible for their report moderation and their personal development. With a Development Squad of referees normally only 8-12 strong, and an exchange programme limiting inbound exchanges to 4 referees a week some weeks, there need only be about 8 assessors to allow them to be regularly employed. These assessors are a Federation based group and their appointments have priority over any local Society activity. They are appointed by the Assessor & Gradings Officer. They are required to obtain the current RFU Assessor Award (4 modules). Their travel can be minimised by sensible
47 geographic appointment. They use the Federation Assessment Form for all their assessments.
Coaches are be selected by the Match Officials Performance Group (MOPG) and allocated up to two referees each. Again, with a Squad of 8-12 referees, there need only be about 6-8 coaches. Where a coach also works on North Group or RFU, it may be more practical to allocate only one Yorkshire referee to him. This will be decided each season when the compositions of the Development Squads and North Group are known. The coaches are a Federation based group and because their role is one of continuous development, they are managed by the Development Squad Co-ordinator. They are required to obtain the current RFU Coaching qualification. They should attend at least one, and preferably two, matches a month with each of their charges. They do not assess referees.
Advisers operate within their own local Society, observing referees between levels 12 and 8. Becoming a Society Adviser is the starting point for any retiring referee or current referee who wishes to contribute his knowledge on a part time basis (perhaps when injured). Society advisers are appointed by, and are developed by, their Society Adviser Development Officer (SADO). They are the early talent spotters – an increasingly important role. Advisers give referees feedback on the day and complete a simple one sided report form for the record. The pathway to subsequent Assessing or Coaching is open and any such nomination would be by their Society Advisers’ Co-ordinator to the FADO or Development Squad Co-ordinator.
Whether is it as an Adviser, Assessor or Coach the contribution to the development of the next generation of referees and to the maximising of the talent and enjoyment of the current cohort cannot be overestimated. When ones days blowing the whistle approach their end, the options are to continue along one path above, or be lost to the Game we love. We urgently need more to make the positive choice!
REFEREE AND ADVISER TOGETHER
Pre-Match
1 Do welcome your Adviser. His attendance is a sign of how well you are doing. 2 If it is the first time you have met, he is probably as nervous as you are. 3 Don’t dwell on past games as this is a fresh look at your skill as a referee. 4 Plan when you want some time for preparation on your own. 5 Do invite the Adviser to any pre-match briefing (if there is a team of three). If he knows your requirements he will be able to judge whether they were implemented or not. 6 Always appear cool, calm and in control. 7 Remember the Adviser is there to help you. He is providing evidence to aid your development so that your training needs can be identified, thus speeding up your progress. 8 Agree where and when to meet after the match to suit your requirements. 9 Ensure your Adviser has your correct e-mail address to ensure rapid receipt of your report. If either of you are not on e-mail, the referee should supply a stamped self addressed envelope (always carry a supply to matches, just in case!)
Post-Match
A good exchange of ideas will help your cause. Always aim to leave the Adviser with a positive image of yourself. He may watch you again in the future! The Adviser may say what you don’t want to hear, nevertheless it won’t make it any less valid. Your man management skills are needed in this setting just as they were during the match.
48 Afterwards
Reflect on the game over the next few days and compare your performance honestly against the CBRDS. Look to see if the Adviser repeated comments that previous reports have outlined.
When the report arrives, read the Adviser’s comments carefully. Map it against previous reports to look for patterns emerging. Discuss any issues raised with your mentor or training officer.
CHILD PROTECTION GUIDANCE FOR MATCH OFFICIALS
With the continued growth of rugby involving young players, it is essential that referees are aware of the need to follow the guidelines to ensure that the welfare of both referees and players is safeguarded.
When refereeing young players match officials must:-
• Recognise the importance of fun and enjoyment when officiating young players. • Provide verbal feedback in a positive way during games • Appreciate the needs of the players • Be a positive role model • Recognise that safety is paramount • Explain decisions – most young players are still learning
Officials must not
• Change in the same area as young players • Shower with young players – agree with the coaches a timetable • Be alone with young players at any time – if a young player comes into the dressing room ensure another adult is present • Check studs without the coach being present • Administer first aid • Allow a young player to continue playing if you have doubts about their fitness • Tolerate bad language from young players • Engage in any inappropriate contact with young players • Give a lift to a player unless there are other young people or adults in the car and the parents are aware • Overly criticise young players or use language which may cause the player to lose confidence or self esteem • Make sexually explicit remarks to young players even in fun
Officials must always
• Report, in writing, to the Club or CB Welfare Officer and their Member Society Secretary, behaviour by adults which you feel contravenes RFU Child Protection Policy o Verbal bullying by coaches/parents/spectators o Physical Abuse by coaches/parents/spectators o Inappropriate or aggressive contact by an adult to a young person o Verbal abuse directed at you by young people or adults
REMEMBER “THE WELFARE OF ALL YOUNG PEOPLE IS PARAMOUNT”

FITNESS OF PITCHES , SAFETY AND PLAYING LEAGUE FIXTURES
Extract from the English Clubs Rugby Union Championship Regulations
17.6 When a late decision (i.e. a decision that is required to be made within 3 hours of kick off) as to the fitness of the ground for the playing of a League match is necessary, it shall be made by the respective captains (or other nominated representatives) of the Clubs involved.
If the captains (or other nominated representatives) are not able to agree, the decision as to the fitness of the ground shall be made by the appointed referee.
Note: The referee is only required to give an opinion as to whether or not a ground is fit to be played upon. If the referee has given his decision and a team declines to play on a ground that the referee has declared fit, that shall be the decision of the team concerned and not that of the referee. A referee’s opinion as to the fitness of the pitch may be requested by the Organising Committee to determine any dispute or appeal.
