SAFEGUARDING AND DBS CHECKS

SIN BINS TO BE USED IN 2019/20
Temporary dismissals, otherwise known as sin bins, are to be implemented across Merseyside grassroots football in 2019/20, for clubs at Level 7 and below.

These sin bins will be issued for dissent-only cautions.

All registered Liverpool FA referees will be required to attend training regarding temporary dismissals – and details of this training will be sent direct to all referees by the County FA.
