Safeguarding Children and Child Protection
The England and Wales Cricket Board is firmly and enthusiastically committed to ensuring that cricket provides a safe, friendly and enjoyable experience for all children.
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, it is 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 ecb.co.uk.
This Safeguarding and Child Protection section contains full details of that Policy and other relevant documentation - plus advice and information on Vetting Checks (more commonly known as Criminal Records Bureau checks).
