Overview

At the Professional Football Scouts Associations (“the Company“) we require that all of our members conduct themselves according to the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and behaviour when dealing with stakeholders including fellow members and players, match officials, parents, spectators, coaches, team managers and club officials.

  • Never discriminate against any fellow member and player, match official, parent, spectator, coach, team manager, or club official regardless of age, ethnicity, gender or race.
