Our Goals
Recruitment
Recruitment and Outreach: Conduct outreach programmes in schools, communities, and clubs, targeting individuals from Black, Asian and Mixed Heritage from the age of 14 and above. Use social media, community events, workshops, and seminars to generate interest and attract potential referees.
Retention
We believe every official who wants to just participate, develop, or move up in the refereeing pyramid should all be afforded the same fair opportunity.
We will continue to work tirelessly to drive initiatives that will encourage all Black, Asian & Mixed Heritage referees, irrespective of their dreams and objectives that they can bring their true selves to refereeing, with confidence of opportunity to dream and stay in the game, through helping them access the support, mentoring and coaching where required.
Representation
Our mission is to drive for change through action, dialogue and challenge for a visible representation of diversity of match officials at all levels of football, particularly in the professional game with more match officials needed from the Black, Asian & Mixed Heritage community that reflects what is seen on the pitch playing the game and in our society.
