Reporting

The Grading Committee meets monthly to review & discuss the performances of all the officials in the Society. A decision has been taken to modernise the way reports are submitted and reviewed in Warwickshire by integrating them with the WhostheRef appointments system . Now, whenever a match observer is appointed, the report is completed on-line using either the coaching form (for levels 9+) or the RFU assessment form (for levels 6,7 and 8). Periodic Coaching Summary Reports will also be completed on referees with appointed mentors. This reporting system is being adopted by all leading Societies in the Country as the way forward. Games recorded on DVD will also be reviewed via the Society’s Dartfish TV Channel.
