Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Foundation, and the ECB, are committed to ensuring that HIGH STANDARDS of behaviour and conduct are adhered to across our game.
In line with this commitment, Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Foundation have adopted the ECB GENERAL CONDUCT REGULATIONS, RECREATIONAL CONDUCT REGULATIONS and ANTI-DISCRIMINATION REGULATIONS.
General Conduct Regulations   (click for more info)
The GCR contain detailed disciplinary processes which are designed to ensure that disciplinary matters are dealt with in a fair, efficient and consistent manner by cricket organisations and provide assistance to cricket organisations when establishing and running their disciplinary processes.
Recreational Conduct Regulations (the “RCR”) shall be applicable to all leagues within recreational cricket (and within the jurisdiction of the ECB) which are not covered by the GCR (the “Relevant Cricket Leagues”). The RCR mirror the GCR as follows:
1. The RCR cover both on-field offences and off-field offences (such as inappropriate comments on social media). As cricket organisations will be well aware, there has been (and will no doubt continue to be) an increase in cases involving off-field offences.
2. The RCR also contain sanction guidelines, which will ensure there is more consistency across recreational cricket.
Anti-Discrimination Regulations  (click for more info).
This Code therefore sets out discriminatory behavior which, when carried out by a participant who is required to comply with it, will be a breach of the Code and may be sanctioned accordingly. All Participants agree by virtue of their involvement in cricket in England and Wales to be bound by this Code and submit to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the relevant body which applies to them. (ref. ECB Anti-Discrimination Code)
