Download Safe Hands

The ECB's Safe Hands – Cricket’s Policy for Safeguarding Children is available for you to download here in full on ecb.co.uk.

The October 2007 version of Safe Hands was updated slightly with amendments made to a few of its pages which are dated November 2008. Please note that the whole folder will not be redated, merely the sections that were updated.

The Policy is divided into three Sections. For ease of downloading, Sections One and Two are combined and then section Three is separate and also available in two formats.

Section Three of the manual is a 'Kit Bag' of useful guidance and sample documents for clubs and other to use. It is possible to either download all of Section Three or download an individual item from the 'Kit Bag'.

If you have any problems downloading these files, please email help@ecb.co.uk. Please note you will need Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to be able to download the PDF files.
