If you believe that a person, group of persons or a club or association has breached England Hockey’s Spirit of Hockey - Code of Conduct (that is not already covered by separate Anti-Doping, Safeguarding and Protecting Young People Regulations or by the issuing of a Red Card), then you can file a Misconduct Complaint. This can be done by filling out a Misconduct Complaint Form. The form can be used to report isolated incidents or a series of actions that may have brought hockey into disrepute.
Whether you are someone considering submitting a Misconduct Complaint, the recipient of a Misconduct Complaint or Club Disciplinary Officer, all the information you need, including the England Hockey Disciplinary Regulations, associated forms and guidance documents can be found on the England Hockey Discipline pages via this link.
Note: England Hockey has launched a new Red Card/ Misconduct Complaint Form.
This form replaces previous Red Card/ Misconduct Complaint Form and must be used from the 12-09-2025.
The new form is a Microsoft (MS) Form which umpires/ complainants will complete online. The form is available via this link https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/URByvWx9pE
Please note, old style forms will no longer be accepted; if the correct procedure for issuing Misconduct Complaint is not followed this may have an adverse impact on the outcome of the disciplinary process.
Once completed, additional evidence supporting the complaint will need to be sent to England Hockey via discipline@englandhockey.co.uk where it will be processed. If you are unsure of whether your complaint falls under a Misconduct offence, please consult the flow diagram below.
