Put in place set criteria for certificates of recognition – not just for working at events. • Work towards acknowledgement of progressive qualification as panel officials by awarding a badge ( Driving Logo) to be worn on a “blazer” as Driving Colours once the official reaches National panel. This would be the standard “judging” step-outs which means the officials can be easily identified. • Establish a strong pool of Trainers , athletes and officials in order to promote the discipline on all fronts.
