Why YESREF asks for your Accreditation details

YESREF is proud to be supporting Sports Providers to simplify the long winded and often out dated method of Finding, Organising and Paying Sports Officials across 25+ sports.

In doing so, it's important that Sports Officials are who they say they are and accredited to the levels they are declaring within their profile. As such YESREF verifies and checks these accreditations to ensure they're accurate and up to date, taking the hassle away from Sports Providers.

Adding accreditation details to YESREF has many benefits to all involved, including:

For the Sports Official:
Allows access to the #LiveGamesList, offering more Games to officiate
Notifications are sent before Accreditation expires to ensure Sports Officials are always in date and qualified

For Sports Providers:
Sports Officials are always up to date with the required Accreditation for their Appointments
Each game highlights the Accreditation level of the Sports Official

The Accreditation required for Sports Officials are:
Official Level
Affiliation for the current Sport season
Safeguarding (if required for your Sport)
DBS (if Required for your Sport)
