All cricket clubs have an obligation to appoint a Club Welfare Officer (CWO), irrespective as to whether or not they have a junior section at their club. These officers have a remit to provide advice on Safeguarding issues and to ensure that the club adheres to all aspects of Safeguarding.
The CWO should attend an ECB Safe Hands Workshop and a ‘Safeguarding and Protecting Children’ (SPC) workshop accredited by UK Coaching.

Safeguarding and Protecting Children
This workshop will raise your awareness of the telltale signs of abuse, and give you the tools and confidence you need to deal with any issues sensitively, appropriately and effectively should the need ever arise in your coaching career.
All organisations (including sports clubs) that have an involvement with children now have clear statutory duties to safeguard children's welfare. This course will identify and recognise good coaching practice and the implications for their coaching. Explore their values and feelings in relation to child abuse, and recognise their potential impact on coaches' response. Recognise and respond to the signs and symptoms of child abuse and poor practice. Take appropriate action if concerns about a child arise.
PLEASE NOTE;
1) This course is mandatory needed for Clubmark status
2) You must be 18+ years, or 16-18 and accompanied by an adult to attend this course. Coaches under the age of 16 are not permitted to attend this course.
