Membership

Officials Information Tab

Similar to the Athlete Information tab, the Officials Information tab allows you to quickly view key details using an official’s membership number. At a glance, you can check the status of an official’s membership, licence and DBS, as well as confirm their approved roles (e.g. Supervisor, Referee, Judge, Timekeeper) and the grade they have achieved. This should be used as the primary reference when appointing officials or confirming eligibility ahead of events.
