SAFEGUARDING

Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Foundation treat the welfare of our players, coaches, staff, volunteers and the cricket community as a priority. We believe that cricket should be a safe, fun, welcoming environment where everyone has the opportunity to take part in our game. 

Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone in our game and should not be overlooked. As a Foundation, we have a designated safeguarding team who are here to support our Club, Community and network partners to ensure they have everything in place to create a safe, welcoming environment.

The Role of the County Safeguarding Officer is:

  • To provide advice and assistance on Safeguarding children to clubs, leagues and other affiliated organisations within our county.
  • The County Safeguarding Officer does this primarily through the network of Club Safeguarding Officers.
  • They are the go-to person that others come to if they have concerns, and having attended specific training, will know what to do to assist, or who to ask for further help.
  • Will make sure the appropriate policies and procedures are in place, and that everyone in regulated activity at their club, is vetted by the ECB/Cricket Regulator.
  • To promote safe, welcoming and inclusive environments for all involved in Cricket.
