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.
