Grassroots referees feel 'safer' wearing bodycams during matches, Football Association trial shows
Grassroots referees feel "more confident" and "safer" wearing bodycams during matches, a Football Association trial has shown.
"The early signs are positive; the referees feel more confident, reassured, protected, safer," Daniel Meeson, the FA's head of refereeing, told BBC Radio 5 Live. The trial is being conducted in selected adult grassroots leagues in Essex, Liverpool, Middlesbrough and Worcester.Footage from bodycams can be used in disciplinary hearingsThe bodycams, produced by Reveal Media, do not record for the whole match but have an automatic 30-second capture.
Footage captured can be used in disciplinary hearings to support the match report the referee submits to the FA, but this only applies to players or coaches who are abusive. Footage of spectators cannot be used. More than 900 referees in England responded, with 293 saying they had been physically abused by spectators, players, coaches or managers.
The BBC was given access to a session in Preston with parents and coaches of children in under-7 to under-12 teams.
