Safeguarding Officers

All Cricket Organisations should have a qualified Safeguarding Officer as an essential part of their safeguarding structure.

The welfare of young people involved in cricket in the county is of paramount importance and we are committed to ensuring that cricket provides a safe, friendly and enjoyable experience for all children.

If your Organisation does not have an appointed Club Safeguarding Officer it should appoint one as soon as possible.

Training for Club Safeguarding Officers

Club Safeguarding Officers are required to hold the following three certifications:

1) Safe Hands qualification (ECB course run in partnership with the NSPCC).

The ECB Safe Hands Workshop provides advice on the CWO role, along with the requirements and responsibilities of child safeguarding.

This is a face to face course and last approximately 3 hours. 

Please register using your full name, as it appears on your DBS certificate and ensure you register using an email address that is unique to you.
