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 peace of mind.

ECB has produced Safe Hands - Cricket's Policy for Safeguarding Children - which can be downloaded from ecb.co.uk.
