6. Key Role of Officials (for comment) The role of officials in an NSOs whole of sport plan is to: ‘Provide a fair and safe competition environment’

7. National Officiating Strategy (2003)  Vision and Goals  Guiding Principles  Strategies – To provide quality training to officials – To provide quality support and resources for officials and officiating – To improve public perception of officials and officiating  Critical success factors  Outcomes – Increase in numbers – Increase in quality – Improved support and recognition

8. SPARC Website - Questions  How many of you have accessed the officials section of the SPARC website?  What materials do we have on the website?  What materials have you used?  What is missing?  Is it the right information to help? (both NSOs and individuals)  Long term, how should SPARC develop this website?

10. PM Officials Scholarships  Up to $250K invested annually, approx 15 – 20 scholarships  Group and individual scholarships  A lot of applications are declined – applicants don’t understand the programme, applications are vague and programmes are not linked to criteria below  There are relatively few constraints; – Officiating on the world stage (elite level) – Development/learning/accreditation  Process – applications, SPARC processing, moderation

11. PM Officials Scholarships - Questions For discussion in the last session:  Are the criteria appropriate?  Does the PM Scholarship Programme benefit the right officials? If not, how can processes be improved to do this?  What steps can be taken to ensure the scholarships maximise the benefits for sports?  Are there lessons from the Australian experience?

12. Other Considerations  What are your needs?  Does SPARC have a role in meeting these?  What are your expectations of SPARC?  What expectations are or are not being met?  Where should officiating and official development fit in SPARC’s planning?  What are the joint learning opportunities for officials and coaches?  Are there lessons from the Australian experience?  Future planning - vision v realism
