All cricket clubs have an obligation to appoint a Child Welfare Officer. These officers have a remit to provide advice on Safeguarding issues and ensure that the club adheres to all aspects of Safeguarding.

The Child Welfare Officer should attend a ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children’ workshop accredited by Sportscoach UK and the ECB Safe Hands Workshop.
The Child Welfare Officer must also have a DBS Check by which they should indicate their remit as the club officer.

If anyone is interested in further information or fulfilling the role please don’t hesitate to contact Paul Barker 07949135728 at the nearest opportunity.
