the time to reflect on the

development of referees

at all levels. • Successful referee education programmes

change the behaviour and practices of referees

qualified or international referees.

• For this change to occur,

learning must take place. • Mentoring supports the

learning process. • Mentoring, quite simply means a one to one

relationship supporting the development of

another referee.
