Mentoring is a powerful tool in the education and development of referees at all levels. • Successful referee education programmes change the behaviour and practices of referees - whether they are newly qualified or international referees. Mentoring
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. Mentoring
