The safeguarding of all children at the Club is of the utmost importance.

We have a thriving Junior section, well supported by a number of qualified coaches derived from senior players past and present, parents/carers and other volunteers operating under the ECB Safe Hands policy for the Safeguarding and Protection of Children.

We provide coaching for children from the age of five upwards from the end of April to the middles of July. As a large, family orientated club we pride ourselves in providing high quality coaching where everyone feels included within a safe and friendly environment.

The Club Safeguarding Team consists of Anita Willcox, Annette Casse and Janet Lane. 

The main purpose of the role is to assist with the safeguarding and protecting of children and young people in cricket and to implement the ECB ‘Safe Hands Policy’ and procedures.

Please do not hesitate to raise any welfare concerns with the team, however small they may be.

Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility. Everyone involved in cricket, from All Stars to the England teams, should understand the importance of keeping people safe within our game. We are  committed to ensuring a safe environment for everybody.  For more details regarding ECB Safeguarding please click HERE
