Safeguarding Children and Child Protection

Safeguarding in Cricket is based upon the concept of providing an enjoyable cricket environment that is tailored to the needs and requirements of children.

The Safeguarding Policy is not just to protect children in cricket but it is also to introduce good practice, raise awareness and provide piece of mind.

ECB has produced Safe Hands - Cricket's Policy for Safeguarding Children - which can be downloaded from www.ecb.co.uk

The Club has adopted and implemented the ECB 'Safe Hands - Cricket's Policy for Safeguarding Children' and has appointed a Club Welfare Manager, who has attended a Sports Coach UK 'Safeguarding and Protecting Children' workshop
