Every cricket club must have adpoted the follwing Policies, stated within their Club constitution

Please make sure that all the club members are aware of who the Safeguarding Officer(s) are within the club. Please provide telephone numbers and emails so playesr, parents, officials and spectators can raise an issue in confidence should they need to.

Appointed Club Safeguarding Officers can apply to become ECB online DBS Evidence Checkers for their club or area.
