If you think that a breach of the Code of Ethics or any other action that may bring the sport of hockey into disrepute has taken place, you have the option of raising a Misconduct Complaint.  More details on who can do this and how this can be done are found in the Misconduct Complaints section on this website.

There are important time limits within which to raise a formal Misconduct Compliant, but before doing so consider whether the issue is best resolved directly with any other club or association involved. 

If you need guidance on how to do this, contact the England Hockey Disciplinary Lead or your Area Disciplinary Administrator.

England Hockey have produced a guidance document for clubs around how to hold a disciplinary hearing, which can be found on this page. Templates for recording the judgment and a charge sheet are also available to download.
