Officials Communities of Practice Programme
|
Following the success of the Officials Communities of Practice (CoP) sessions and after a short break over the summer months we are pleased to announce the publication of the next series of Communities of Practice workshops for Officials. Working in Partnership, UKA and the Home Country Athletics Federations (HCAFs – Athletics Northern Ireland, England Athletics, Scottish Athletics & Welsh Athletics) have put together a programme of 8 workshop sessions that will take place in November and December 2022. The CoP sessions are designed to be short sessions that focus on particular areas of officiating and cover a wide range of topics across different disciplines. The sessions allow for continuous and professional development (CPD) for Officials across different disciplines and levels. Registrations for each of the sessions will be through Athletics Hub. Please see the table of workshop sessions that will be available below. Each session has a booking link which will take you directly to the booking page for that session. A description for each session is available on the booking page (when clicking through the link) or in this document.
