New on and off the field disciplinary regulations have come into effect that will govern the game across England.
The new Disciplinary Regulations replace both the existing Red Card & Matchday Misconduct Offence Regulations and Disrepute Offence Regulations, setting out England Hockey’s disciplinary processes for red card offences and misconduct complaints in a single, more consistent and easily navigatable document. A key goal was to improve both clarity and consistency, whilst providing greater alignment between the on and off field disciplinary processes.
The new Disciplinary Regulations will be easier for anyone involved in the disciplinary process to understand and apply, whether an Area Disciplinary Administrator, Club Disciplinary Officer (“CDO”), umpire, technical official, player or team official.
Full information on the new Disciplinary Regulations are live on the England Hockey website
