Personal Accident Insurance

This year we have added new products to Whole Game which you are able to purchase as part of your registration for the coming season.

This season we are offering Referees Personal Accident Insurance for the price of just £5. This insurance covers you in the event of injury whist you are refereeing. This insurance is offered through the FA's recognised broker, Bluefin. Attached below is the simple and brief policy outline.

Criminal Record Checks

All referees officiating in youth football require an in-date FA Criminal Record Check. The FA CRC Department is currently experiencing a backlog, so it is advised that any referee whose CRC is due to expire before August is advised to act sooner rather than later.

Please see below the instructions on applying for a CRC Check if you need one.
