Can I re-register with a paper form?

Because the WGS system is the same system for referees to submit their misconduct reports we have advised referees to register online through this system but some referees who don't have access to a computer can register manually by contacting the office on 0121 357 4278.

Do I need a Criminal Record Check (CRC) to referee?
