Code of Ethics & Vetting
Referee Code of Ethics
Referees must act as a role model and promote positive aspects of Ladies
Gaelic Football and maintain the highest standards of personal conduct.
Referees should respect the rights, dignity and worth of every player and
treat each player equally, regardless of ethnic origin or ability.
It is important to realise that certain situations or friendly actions could
be misinterpreted by the participant or by outsiders. If you must provide
transport for players, avoid travelling alone with one player. Players should
always sit in the back seat and ensure seats belts are used at all times.
Avoid entering player dressing rooms. If a manager requests you to
speak to players, instruct the manager to gather the players on the pitch.
If you must enter the dressing room, ensure that you have been granted
permission and all players are appropriately dressed.
It is your duty as a member of the Association to be aware of and report
any incidents which are in breach of the Code of Ethics.
