After the end of her competitive career, she became a referee at the International Skating Union (ISU). Between 1988 and 2002 she was a member of the technical committee of the ISU and from 1992 to 2002 chairwoman. Since 1995 she has also been the Chair of the British Figure Skating Federation, NISA. In the course of the Olympic scandal in the couples competition in 2002, she had to give up her position at the ISU. As a result, she and others founded the World Figure Skating Federation WSF, which, however, could not oust the ISU. Stapleford remained an outspoken critic of the policy of the ISU, especially the new rating system and the associated anonymity of the judges.
